Summary
"Drink Talking traces the fascinating history of alcohol advertising during the twentieth century and analyses the changing patterns of consumption of the British drinker. The most famous and evocative advertising campaigns are revisited alongside many less well-known but equally fascinating images. The book traces changing tastes in alcoholic drinks and examines the influence of advertising on social behaviour. From Guinness to Smirnoff, via Babycham and Cinzano, British drinking habits are revealed and illuminated through illustrations of the most memorable advertisements in full colour. Each chapter covers a decade of the twentieth century up to the beginning of the twenty-first, when the demand for tighter regulations on alcohol advertising and internet competition have both had a significant impact on printed advertisements."--Jacket.
