Reviews

[Londyn]

Wagner's book strongly states her thoughts and ideas on Alcohol. The book is fairly easy to read as it is a book with a lot of pictures and sub-headings to everything. Alcohol starts by talking about ancient times and works its way to the present time. The book explains its effects on the brain and the body, from the consumption of alcohol. Alcohol also goes in depth of how alcohol can harness the ability to be a disease and disrupt balances in the brain and the body. This book provides straight forward information on the world's most widely used drug, alcohol.
