I know nothing about your show, but I'll try to watch it soon. My question is, have you read "And a Bottle of Rum: A History of the New World in Ten Cocktails"? It may be more about history and the history of a specific alcohol than actually drunk people talking about history, but I really enjoyed the book.

Great read if you’re interested in history and booze.
Especially liked the explanation of the term “at loggerheads”.
Those are all quite good, Death & Cos book is more of a coffee table book since it's cool looking and interesting. I've wanted to go for a while, but the wait is hours almost every night.
Liquid Intelligence is also fantastic, and it's a great reference book. I think Imbibe is a good magazine that a lot of people in the industry are fond of. A Bottle of Rum is an interesting, more historical type of read, but you might have heard of that. In a similar vein as Death and Co is PDT's recipe book. PDT is a few blocks from Death here in NYC, and it's just as lauded. You're not supposed to say it, but PDT stands for Please Don't Tell and you enter through a phone booth in another restaurant. Their cocktails are quite good.
Ultimately, I think if you have Liquid Intelligence you might want to get books that find interesting ways to explore your favorite spirit in more detail. Do you have a favorite drink or base?
Cheers, but I think it is rum. Historically at least.
