Whether it's a quiet pint of ale in a well-heeled watering hole or Jäger bombs at 2 a.m., one thing always follows another: hunger.

All too often we cave in to the booze munchies and settle for kerbside cheesy chips or a dreadful doner kebab.There is another way. A better way.

Unlike driving, texting and neurosurgery, cooking can be improved by a drinking session. This book offersdelicious recipestailored to your level of tipsiness and perfect for soaking up the worst of it. Spicy Thai-style pork burgers, a quick couscous chicken biryani or authentic smoky burritos can be delectable and, more importantly, achievable withTHE DRUNKEN COOKBOOKin hand.

Milton Crawford made a name for himself with THE HUNGOVER COOKBOOK, which brought him global notoriety, and soon after (in 2011) he won the Bombadier Beer Writer of the Year. His passion for alcohol is matched by his love of food, travel, pubs and the outdoors. He finds that a strict regimen of exercise helps him to drink and eat greater amounts, recover faster and come back for more, sooner; this regime was, at least in part, inspired by the 2012 London Olympics. Thanks, Sebastian.

Milton divides his time between London, the New Forest, Austria and India, hoping that if he is able to spread himself thinly enough across the planet, he will merge into some higher form of consciousness. This has not happened yet.
