Read more about the term "John Barleycorn," and English folksongs about barley, beer, and human sacrifice.

  1. If (for some reason) you want to continue reading about alcoholism, two different books I would recommend are "Drinking: A Love Story," by Caroline Knapp, or "The Prince of Frogtown," by Rick Bragg.
