Make Mine a Double?: Gina Barrecas Look at Women and Alcohol

11:00

Women and wine -- or whatever their drink of choice -- just doesn’t have the same sort of image as the man and his martini. As humorist Gina Barreca asks, why does a man with a drink think he looks like Sean Connery from Dr. No, whereas a woman with a drink fears she looks like Elizabeth Taylor from Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? On this hour of "All Sides," we’ll hear from Gina about a collection of 28 essays by an array of literary luminaries that she has compiled and edited in a book about women and drink.
