Praise for The Sophisticated Alcoholic: The Sophisticated Alcoholic is welcome addition to the literature on excessive and addictive drinking. The book is aimed at those who know they are drinking too much, want to drink less and need to find out how. Its pragmatic, practical and optimistic approach to alcoholism is a useful counterweight to those who take the view that alcoholic addiction cannot be reversed but can only be held in abeyance by abstinence and a lifetime of regular attendance at self-help groups. The book offers the refreshing and optimistic view that everyone can change -- you are not a slave to your genes or an incurable disease.
