Media Reviews
'The book begins with a touchingly honest account of the disgusting effects of a bottle of cider. It's appropriate for a book that stresses the way in which over-consumption reduces self-control. For all its chummy approach, there is nothing facile here. Testimonials are scattered throughout, from guidance and good sense to descriptions of the ways in which drunkenness can corrupt family relationships and friendships.' -- The Guardian Education 20011211
