Books, Manuscripts
What is it that has driven politicians to drink? What is their tipple of choice? How has it shaped the decisions they have made - and thus history? Here, Ben Wright explores the history of alcohol in politics, from the debauched drinking practices of 18th century government ministers to Theresa May's avoidance of Parliament's bars and Trump's famed teetotalism.
