A real oldie but goodie, written in 1981! I don't think the science in it has been superseded. It really opened my eyes to the physiology of how alcoholics process alcohol compared to non-alcoholics. Not preachy, just factual. It made me appreciate I had a disease and it was up to me to treat it responsibly, with sobriety!
