The author certainly knows and is qualified to write about his subject, making the chapters on the actual neurobiology of addiction fascinating. However, these vary with chapters written "down" to the reader on such a level as to be almost insulting (along the lines of "a cow goes moo"). I had to give it three stars because I feel that, in some ways, the book cannot make up it's mind as to what it wants to be: the "general" chapters are condescending and repetitive, the "technical" chapters are very hard science which will only appeal to specialist readers. All in all, this makes a valuable reference guide for those who have made some progress in addiction studies as long as you skip the chapters which explain that being drunk means you've consumed too much alcohol ("the cow goes moo!)

Scientific research has clearly established that drinking in moderation has many health benefits, including maintaining a healthy heart. Yet, many people do not know that drinking red wine protects the heart more than white wine, while beer, margaritas, and hard liquor are less effective in providing such protection. And while alcoholism is a serious problem requiring medical and psychological treatment, for those who are not addicted, drinking alcohol is not necessarily a bad habit. The problem is to distinguish between drinking sensibly and drinking insensibly. Dasgupta clearly outlines what constitutes healthy drinking and its attendant health benefits, offers advice on how to drink responsibly, and provides insight into just how alcohol works on the brain and the body. After reading this book, readers will enjoy their next drink with a fuller and safer understanding of why they're enjoying it. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
