Down to This: Squalor and Splendor in a Big-City Shantytown was nominated for The Drainie-Taylor Biography Prize, the Trillium Award, the City of Toronto Book Award and the 2005 Pearson Writers\' Trust of Canada Non-Fiction Prize.
About the Author: Shaughnessy Bishop-Stall\'s first book was an account of the year he spent living with the homeless in Toronto\'s infamous Tent City.
And along the way, Bishop-Stall regales readers with stories from humanity\'s long and fraught relationship with booze, and shares the advice of everyone from Kingsley Amis to a man in a pub.
Cutting through the rumor and the myth, Hungover explores everything from polar bear swims, to saline IV drips, to the age-old hair of the dog, to let us all know which ones actually work.
But even in 2018, little is actually known about hangovers, and less still about how to Cure them.
Hangovers have plagued human beings for about as long as civilization has existed (and arguably longer), so there has been plenty of time for cures to be concocted.
Courageous journalist Shaughnessy Bishop-Stall has gone to the front lines of humanity\'s age-old fight against hangovers to settle once and for all the best way to get rid of the aftereffects of a night of indulgence (short of not drinking in the first place).
