Excellent review, Sharon! My neighbour during my childhood years was an alcoholic and through him, I've seen first hand the damage alcohol does to a family. I've been a lifelong teetotaler (not sure if my decision was influenced by what I saw in my childhood), but there's a certain loved one in my life who enjoys their drink. I've been trying hard to convince them to stop drinking at least hard liquor for their family's sake. I hope they can read this book and educate themselves better. Thanks so much for sharing your honest and heartfelt thoughts.
I have placed this on hold at our library based on this review, thanks Sharon.

Great to hear, Left Coast Justin! Just an FYI, I recently had some wine from a winery called Left Coast. It's based in Willamette Valley, Oregon. The name of the winery is a nod to their geographical location and that three of their five family members are left-handed.
Great review. I am interested in this book for the same reasons you were. Will purchase book. Thank you.

As you point out, alk is deeply woven into the social aspects of many societies, almost as much as coffee and meat, so very difficult to regulate the over-consumption which leads to so much violence and deaths. Nice review!
