In John Standage’s book, A History of the World in Six Glasses, the history of the world is told through the history of six beverages; beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and Coca Cola. The effect that each has had on the world is profound and immeasurable, however, of the six beverages, I have found that coffee has played the largest and most significant role in world history. One way that coffee affected world history is that establishments that served coffee created a social venue for members of the community to bond over various topics. Standage wrote that coffeehouses were hotspots for “gossip, rumor, political debate, and satirical discussion.”, similar to what they are in the present day. These topics led to Kha’ir Beg, ruler of Egypt, as well as his superiors worrying about coffeehouses being a popular meeting place for those wishing to overthrow the government.

I enjoyed the position Standage took when discussing world history. I found his execution with comparing history to drinks, to be done fairly well. Although I found the book to be very intriguing, at times I felt as if Standage’s claims had little substance within them, particularly in the first half of the novel. I felt as if I was being cheated on with the claim Standage made in his thesis- that all the drinks somehow deeply impacted human history but personally, the alcoholic beverages section did not deliver on that claim and left me disappointed. It wasn’t until the caffeinated drinks did I feel as if Standage really deliver on
A History of the World in 6 Glasses by Tom Standage is not the typical history read that one might expect. To some who find reading history books quite tedious and overwhelming, this book is for you.
