PARTY LIKE A PRESIDENT: TRUE TALES OF INEBRIATION, LECHERY, AND MISCHIEF FROM THE OVAL OFFICE
Book ID/图书代码： 14560015B80002
English Summary/英文概要： There’s the office: President of the United States. And then there’s the man in the office—prone to temptation and looking to unwind after a long day running the country. Celebrating the decidedly less distinguished side of the nation’s leaders, humor writer Brian Abrams offers a compelling, hilarious, and true American history on the rocks—a Washington-to-Obama, vice-by-vice chronicle of how the presidents like to party.
From explicit love letters to slurred speeches to nude swims at Bing Crosby’s house, reputations are ruined and secrets bared. George Washington brokered the end of the? American Revolution over glasses of Madeira. Ulysses S. Grant rarely drew a sober breath when he was leading the North to victory. And it wasn’t all liquor. Some presidents preferred their drugs—Nixon was a pill-popper. And others chased women instead—both ?the professorial Woodrow Wilson (who signed his love letters “Tiger”) and the good ol’ boy Bill Clinton, though neither could hold a candle to Kennedy, who also received the infamous Dr. Feelgood’s “vitamin” injections of pure amphetamine.
Illustrated throughout with infographics (James Garfield’s attempts at circumnavigating the temperance movement), comic strips (George Bush Sr.’s infamous televised vomiting incident), caricatures, and fake archival documents, the book has the smart, funny feel of Mad magazine meets The Colbert Report. Plus, it includes recipes for 44 cocktails inspired by each chapter’s partier-in-chief.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 办公室有什么：美国总统。然后事办公室里的男人——容易受到诱惑，在忙了一天的国家大实话后想放松放松。，幽默作家布瑞恩展现了国家领导人不那么杰出的一面，提供了一个令人信服的、搞笑的和令人震惊的真正的美国历史——从华盛顿到奥巴马，一部关于总统多么喜欢聚会的编年史。
从毫不避讳的情书到含糊不清的演讲再到在克罗斯比房子里的裸泳，声誉毁了，秘密暴露了。乔治•华盛顿以马德拉酒结束了美国革命。尤利西斯•S•格兰特带领北方走向胜利的路上，很少有清醒的时候。并不全是酒。一些总统会选择药物——尼克松药物成瘾。还有一些人则追逐女性，如教授伍德罗•威尔逊（签署了他的情书“老虎”），好男孩比尔•克林顿，虽然他们没有一个能与也接受了臭名昭著的费格博士纯苯丙胺的“维生素”注射的肯尼迪相比。
通过信息图表（杰姆斯•加菲尔德在环航禁酒运动中的尝试），漫画（老布什臭名昭著的电视呕吐事件），连环画和假档案文献加以解释，本书有《幽默杂志》的搞笑、聪明，也有《科尔伯特报告》的犀利。此外，还包括44杯灵感来自各章的党总食谱的鸡尾酒做法。(LNL)
Awards/获奖情况：“布瑞恩•艾布拉姆斯对白宫酗酒做出了最明确的解释。所以，在你要为那些喝醉的手指按一下按钮也许就开始世界大战的人投票前，先读一读《总统的酒会》。没有比读书更好的方式来享受美帝国日渐衰落的日子了，告诉你你喜欢的总统是怎么喝得烂醉如泥的。”——罗丝安妮•巴尔
