| Description: |
Alcohol is a killer. One of every thirteen deaths in the United States is alcohol-related. This book takes a look at the problem, and is useful for those in the alcoholism prevention business. It is also aimed at counselors, politicians, judges, medical professionals, and law enforcement officials throughout the country. |
| Synopsis: |
Alcohol is a killer--1 of every 13 deaths in the United States is alcohol-related. In addition, 5 percent of the population consumes 50 percent of the alcohol. The authors take a close look at the problem in a "classy little study," as The Washington Post called this book. The Library Journal states, "...[T]his is one book that addresses solutions...And it's enjoyably readable...This is an excellent review for anyone in the alcoholism prevention business, and good background reading for the interested layperson." The Washington Post agrees: the book "...likely will wind up on the bookshelves of counselors, politicians, judges, medical professionals, and law enforcement officials throughout the country." |
