  Written for people with drinking problems, their families and friends, this practical handbook provides insight into the causes and effects of problem drinking and informed advice on how to deal with it. Using case histories as illustrations, the authors invite the reader to consider: what is a drinking problem?; am I drinking too much?; should I change my drinking patterns?; how can I deal with my drinking? As well as chapters addressing specific groups, such as young people and women, the authors offer practical advice for all readers on taking responsibility for their own drinking, coping with anxiety, tension and depression and where to go for help. Dr Jonathan Chick works at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital as a consultant psychiatrist specializing in alcohol related problems at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital.
