Drinking – How Much is Too Much?
Drinking alcohol – how much is too much and how do you really know?
Drinking alcohol – how much is too much and how do you know?
Do you wonder why eating a big meal doesn’t keep you from getting drunk? Do you believe coffee will sober a friend up? Do you wonder why some can drink far more than others and still not seem drunk? Do you find it difficult to believe that alcoholism is a disease? Were you even aware there was a “Line?”
In this short, 80-page eBook ($3.99), readers will find the latest brain and addiction-related research and science discoveries written for the general public that debunk the common myths about drinking alcohol. Examining and challenging these common myths from a scientific perspective can help readers recognize what it takes for drinking alcohol to cross the line from use to abuse to dependence (alcoholism). As importantly, it helps readers understand what it takes to stop the progression.
Highlights of the Myths:
Myth 2: A Drink is A Drink
Myth 4: Eating a big meal absorbs the alcohol and drinking lots of water dilutes it so a person can drink more and not get drunk.
Myth 6: The best thing to do for a drunk friend is to let them sleep it off.
Myth 7: People who get DUIs (DWIs) had to know they were too drunk to drive.
Myth 12: Teens are too young to be alcoholics, and besides, all teens drink at some point.
Myth 17: If an alcoholic relapses, it’s their fault. They just didn’t want it badly enough.
Highlights of the Appendices:
Appendix A: Key Reasons a Person’s Drinking Crosses The Line From Alcohol Use to Abuse to Dependence (Alcoholism)
Appendix C: How Alcohol Hijacks the Brain; the Brain Disease of Alcoholism
