Title: "Don t Get Drunk, Jake": Drinking, Drunkenness, and Sobriety in The Sun Also Rises
Author/Creator: Donald A. Daiker
Publication Details: North Dakota Quarterly, Vol.76(1-2), pp.169-185
Annotation: Close reading of the Botin s restaurant scene within the context of the novel, arguing that Jake s sobriety signals his determination to separate permanently from Brett, which makes for a quietly optimistic ending. Notes that Jake s tolerance for alcohol matches that of his creator and that for Hemingway heavy drinking does not always equate with drunkenness.
