8The Drinking Man's Diet, granddaddy and originator of all low-carb diets, was first published in 1964. It does not encourage drinking, but understands that upwards of 60 million people in the United States alone enjoy a carb-free cocktail every now and then. A cheeky approach to staying svelte while still enjoying the finer things in life, The Drinking Man's Diet is a charming reminder to keep health and hedonism in harmony.
