Mark Forsyth - Una breve historia de la borrachera

AGRADECIMIENTOS

No hubiera sido posible escribir este libro sin la amable ayuda de muchas personas que se dieron el tiempo para reunirse conmigo o para responder mis impertinentes preguntas. Mi enorme gratitud al profesor Patrick McGovern, al profesor Paul Strohm, a la profesora Judith Jesch, al profesor John C. Darnell, a la profesora Betsy Bryan, al profesor Roland Mayer (muchas gracias por sus notas sobre el vómito romano), al doctor Lance B. Allred, a la profesora Martha Carlin, al profesor Faramerz Dabhoiwala, a David Langford, al doctor Sam Gilbert, a Tom O’Shea, Ian Irvine, Elena Cook, Hilary Scott, Derek Robinson y Stephen Ryan. Cualquier dato que se haya de alguna manera infiltrado en este libro es responsabilidad de ellos; todos los errores, absurdos y las salvajes conclusiones son enteramente responsabilidad mía.

Además, por leer los borradores y las útiles sugerencias sobre las comas de Oxford, debo agradecer a mis padres John Goldsmith y Jane Seeber.
