Product Description

The Psychologist

"...a valuable resource for anyone intending to work in the [alcohol field]."


Review

This book is an easy "good read". It is up to date, informative and broad-based, indeed substantially more broad than the title Binge Britain suggests. The historical perspectives are particularly illuminating. (BMA Medical Book Competition 2007 )

This book by two of our national experts on alcohol misuse provides a thoroughly good read that can be tackled cover to cover or dipped into for its wealth of data and references. It is certainly timely, as binge drinking is rarely out of the media spotlight. (Clinical Medicine, Vol 7, No 1 )

...a valuable resource for anyone intending to work in the [alcohol field]. (The Psychologist )

The harm caused to individuals and to society by binge drinking is forcefully laid out in Binge Britain: Alcohol and the National Response. Moira and Martin Plant are clear about the way forward: health education messages are largely futile and often misinterpreted. They argue that we need to stem the cheap supply of alcohol and to increase taxes on alcoholic drinks. (Lancet )

With our dependence on alcohol laid bare by this book, it is hard to feel optimistic that the future will bring any moderation of our habits. Drink impinges on the lives of almost all of us and for that reason nurses in all settings will learn something from these provocative pages. Cheers. (Nursing Standard )

4.0 out of 5 stars Readable and acedemic, 17 Dec 2006
By Dr. Michael Rowlands (UK/Algarve Portugal) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An easy read for those who wish to understand what is going on in our drinking culture, with a proper historical perspective. Lots of recent facts and figures with international comparisons. A mine of useful information, for policy makers/politicians, but also for professionals who wish to be better informed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Typically biased neo-prohibitionist codswallop, 28 Jul 2008
By Potboy (England) - See all my reviews
Approaches alcohol as if it has to be a "problem" instead of recognising that the overwhelming majority of people drink it for the pleasure it brings. Refuses to accept the benefits alcohol has brought society for the past 10,000 years. Fails to acknowledge the huge joy alcohol can bring. Entirtely lacking in any idea of cost-benefit analysis. Sees conspiracies everywhere.
