ABSTRACT. It is a fact, at least for the American cultural space, that writers are associated with drinking, even more so when good writing is the case in point. Etiologies are complex or rather diffuse, and so is the drinking style, although Hemingway’s “Wine of Wyoming” implies that the relationship is straightforward. Drinking in the New World is anything but barbarous, and so is eating, with its fast foods. In contrast, drinking and cuisine in Europe are absolutely refined, and could be taken as models to follow.
