Good suggestion. I wanted to add that there is an updated version, "Above The Influence" that I have and is jam-packed with good info. When I read it I realised that I knew so little about this chemical I put in my body and what it does. Seriously, I knew more about trans fats and processed white flour than alcohol. I would consider it a good read even if one was going to continue to drink.
