Download or read book Rethinking Drinking written by Craig Noble and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-20 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rethinking Drinking is a story about our common awareness about alcohol-both conscious and subconscious. It's also a story about the super-genius of alcohol marketing. Starting with the author's own experiences, it moves along sort of a dot-connecting continuum of increasingly honest awareness about the effect alcohol has on all of us, and finally arrives at the reason we're all under the influence of it. Lastly, the author shares how he explained it all to his teenage son. There are far too many alcohol messes that we can avoid with a little more awareness and conversation about its slick marketing and slippery effects. With illustrations, common quotes, and condensed chapters, this book is fun and easy for everyone to read and talk about.

Book excerpt: A world-renowned authority on the science of alcohol exposes its influence on our health, mood, sleep, emotions, and productivity -- and what we can and should do to moderate our intake.

With accessible, easy-to-understand language, Nutt ensures that readers recognize why alcohol can have such a negative influence on our bodies and our society. In the vein of This Naked Mind,Drink? isn't preachy; it simply gives readers clear, evidence-based facts to help them make the most informed choices about their consumption.
