Alcohol gives many pleasures. Yet over-indulgence can lead to accidents, illness and social impairment. Griffith Edwards's fascinating survey deploys history and science to explore the whole issue of alcohol. Why do different people behave differently when drunk? What is 'safe drinking'? Is alcohol good for the heart? Does treatment for alcoholism work? How for the future might society better handle this ambiguous drug? This book will be of interest to anyone who likes to drink, who is happy orworried about their drinking, or chooses personally to abstain.
