Lendler, Ian. Alcoholica Esoterica: A Collection of Useful and Useless Information As It Relates to the History and Consumption of All Manner of Booze. New York: Penguin Group, 2005. Print.

Ian Lendler argues the disgusting factors of alcoholic beverages in the book "Alcoholica Esoterica: A Collection of Useful and Useless Information As It Relates to the History and Consumption of All Manner of Booze." This book discusses the what, when, why, and how of alcohol. The what is the ingredients of alcohol, the when is the history of when it all began, the why is reasons people participate in drinking alcohol and the how is everything else about alcohol. This book would be useful to use for my next essay because it has a variety of information in it that will support my reasons of how alcohol affects college students.

Wechsler, Henry, and Bernice Wuethrich. Dying to Drink: Confronting Binge Drinking on College Campuses. Rodale, 2002. Print.

Authors Wechsler and Wuethrich argue the dangers of drinking in the book "Dying to Drink: Confronting Binge Drinking on College Campuses." This book discusses how college campusses center a lot of their social events around drinking such as fraternity initiation, twenty-first birthdays, football tailgating, "bar crawls", and more. This only brings danger to students health on campus by putting themselves in risk for dangerous accidents. I think that this book will be an excellent source for my next essay arguing drinking on college campusses.
