A spirited new translation of a forgotten classic, shot through with timeless wisdom
Is there an art to drinking alcohol? Can drinking ever be a virtue? The Renaissance humanist and neoclassical poet Vincent Obsopoeus (ca. 1498-1539) thought so. In the winelands of sixteenth-century Germany, he witnessed the birth of a poisonous new culture of bingeing, hazing, peer pressure, and competitive drinking. Alarmed, and inspired by the Roman poet Ovid's Art of Love, he wrote The Art of Drinking (De Arte Bibendi) (1536), a how-to manual for drinking with pleasure and discrimination. In How to Drink, Michael Fontaine offers the first proper English translation of Obsopoeus's text, rendering his poetry into spirited, contemporary prose and uncorking a forgotten classic that will appeal to drinkers of all kinds and (legal) ages. Arguing that moderation, not abstinence, is the key to lasting sobriety, and that drinking can be a virtue if it is done with rules and limits, Obsopoeus teaches us how to manage our drinking, how to win friends at social gatherings, and how to give a proper toast. But he also says that drinking to excess on occasion is okay--and he even tells us how to win drinking games, citing extensive personal experience. Complete with the original Latin on facing pages, this sparkling work is as intoxicating today as when it was first published.Binding Type: Hardcover

Great Toner!
Style: Blemish Clearing Toner, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have both rosacea and acne. I use this to control my acne breakouts, and it never makes my rosacea flare up. It’s really good toner & I highly recommend it. It has never made me have any sort of rash/breakout/reaction.

Works
Style: Blemish Clearing Toner, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've had horrible acne issues for the past 2 years since having my daughter. I've tried everything to get rid of it and nothing was working until I tried this stuff! Within 2 days the redness was significantly reduced and I've been having far less issues with my skin. It did cause the skin to purge in the areas I get the most blemishes but that is normal according to Google

Pleasant, light aroma, gently affects the skin.
Style: Blemish Clearing Toner, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It has a pleasant, light scent and feels gentle on the skin, helping to keep it fresh and clear, but I recommend following up with a moisturizer to prevent any dryness.

Clear Skin Staple—Gentle Yet Effective and Pairs Perfectly with My Favorite Facial Pads
Style: Blemish Clearing Toner, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This toner is my daily go-to for keeping my face in check. It’s gentle on my skin but packs a punch when it comes to keeping my sensitive skin clear and fresh. I use it every morning and night, and my skin has never looked more balanced. It doesn’t sting or dry me out, and it layers beautifully with my other products. Total game changer.
I use Thayers Blemish Clearing Toner with the ForPro XL Facial Pads and the combo is perfection. The toner glides on smoothly, and the pads help distribute it evenly without soaking up too much product. My skin feels clean, refreshed, and noticeably clearer. If you’re looking for a refreshing, non-harsh toner to add to your routine that’s simple and effective, this duo is it!
