got a write-up in the Boston Globe!<\/p>\n

In his senior year at Yale University, Brian D. Hoefling became the go-to guy for friends with questions about alcohol consumption. His expertise was not solely a result of prodigious personal experience, however, but from weeks spent learning about classic drinks, a mission Hoefling took on after a few friends mentioned a fear of graduating without knowing how to \u201cdrink like adults.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce I start researching something, I have trouble leaving questions unanswered,\u201d Hoefling said.<\/p>\n

Five years later, the Cambridge resident <\/b>is serving up his own wider guide to alcohol, called \u201cDistilled Knowledge: The Science Behind Drinking\u2019s Greatest Myths, Legends, and Unanswered Questions.\u201d The book, set to publish Oct. 4, discusses the chemistry behind various kinds of drinks and often debunks beliefs that circulate at bars and dinner parties. Do carbonated drinks have a stronger effect on blood alcohol concentration? Why does expensive booze taste better? Hoefling can tell you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
