Alcohol Explained Paperback – Import, 14 April 2015

The well explained book about physical, mental and psychological effects of Alcohol and great insights into cravings of conscious and subconscious level.

I am very grateful of william porter that he has written this book.

This craft explain that the author has himself dealt with alcoholism and this book is not written on scientific knowledge.It reapeats its techniques time and again so that it stays in our mind for long time ,with every aspect of alcoholism and its ways of coming back in life is beautifully crafted in lamen language. I recomend this book more to family of the alcoholic person as to what path to follow to make your loved one come back sober and help him in the path to soberiety

Anyone suffering from alcohol addiction will greatly benefit from reading this book.Even caffeine addiction can also be understood in same way as alcohol addiction explained in this book.

Very thoughtfully explained and examples are very well connected with the exact problems of drinking. Glad we have this book to understand the mechanism of drinking and has answers to all questions that will eventually help us in becoming sober once n for all.( jumping on a conclusion too early though but hopeful).

I really enjoyed it and it opened my eyes towards the minute details about alcohol. Hoping to get read of this filthy habit once and for all.

I am in AA fellowship, still struggling with continuous sobriety. I read this book twice because I liked it's lucid explanation and scientific nature. I finished and started writing this review. I have read many books on alcohol and its effect. This book I liked a lot. One of the main concept I liked is FAB is explained as a separate chapter. Which is in my opinion very important trickster which drags us back to alcohol. I sincerely thank author.

The best book on this subject explains all theories with reasoning. Every one who takes alcohol though he is still not alcoholic or addicted will benifit from this book.

This book has doubled or tripled my quality of life. Most drinkers do not seem to understand what the substance is, or the effect it is having on their body, their relationships and their life. This book will change all of that in just a few hours of reading.I ordered "Alcohol Explained" to help me with what was originally intended as a six month "break" from alcohol. Porter's first book had me not just convinced, but *excited* to live a life free from alcohol, because of the succinct presentation of facts, by about page 60. Not only have I not craved a drink since, but I am 100% confident I will never have one again (we're coming up on 6 months.) My relationships have improved, my memory of "last night" is now accurate, I lost 35# without even trying because I now hike, snowboard and play disc golf for fun instead of drinking. My career as a photographer and gallery owner is showing a lot more potential, I am feeling great and loving life. Alcohol does not add one singular positive thing to a human existence. Anything that a person enjoys doing while drinking can be enjoyed without booze--and with no hangover the next day and without acting like a jerk or an idiot. It's simple math. Great book, I'd hug this guy.

WOW. Love the way this book is written, makes me look at alcohol in a totally different way. Great book, suggest anyone that drink alcohol to read it.

Es un excelente libro que explica los trastornos más importantes causados por el alcohol como transtornos en el sueño, alteraciones hormonales, fatiga, mal humor, deshidratación, etc.Lo compré para entender por qué una persona cercana bebe y no puede dejar de hacerlo. Los que no somos alcohólicos tendemos a pensar que los adictos lo son por simple falta de voluntad, cuando en realidad el problema es mucho más complejo.El primer paso para dejar de beber es, tal vez, entender qué sucede cuando se ingiere alcohol y porqué es tan difícil dejar de beber.Gracias a este libro pude ayudar a una persona muy querida a entender su proceso alcohólico y por qué sería bueno abstenerse.Lo recomiendo. El autor tiene una página web con los primeros 5 capítulos de forma gratuita.Excelente lectura para quien tiene familiares o amigos alcohólicos o para alcohólicos que quieren luchar contra su enfermedad.

This book is very concisely written and has been an absolutely vital tool in remaining sober. Out of every book I have, this is by far my most cherished.

Clear, always to the point and so true. Finally, I have found in print the real story about alcohol. It coincides with my experience 100% and it is a huge help seeing my own experience described to a t in black and white. I thought it was just me but no, alcohol has the same effect on everyone, it’s just that no-one talks about it in the open or no-one is aware of it. Inspired and inspiring. I am actually looking forward to my first test to put into practice what is set down in the book. Highly recommended to anyone struggling with giving up alcohol or staying stopped.
