Look, this is not a bad book by any means, but 2025 is not the year where i push through books even though im not enjoying them.
Being a med student, none of the scientific information was new to me and the way it was written simply didn’t work for me. It’s supposed to be funny and easy to understand for the lay-person and i might recommend this to someone who knows nothing about the way alcohol works but as someone who’s already learned all of this in much more complicated terms, it felt like i was being treated like a child.

Kein Buch für Moralapostel und politisch korrekte. Hart, ehrlich und mit einer gehörigen Portion Sarkasmus und Selbstironie schildert Borowiak alle Seiten der Alkoholkrankheit, behält dabei eine realistische Perspektive und ist sich für nichts zu schade. Selten beim Lesen eines Sachbuches, gerade zu diesem Thema, so viel gelacht.
