'This text continues to be a must for anyone working in the field of alcohol misuse.' Addiction Biology
'… highly readable … an invaluable resource … authoritative … contains a wealth of readily accessible information on drinking problems and is therefore essential reading for all workers in specialist drug and alcohol agencies.' Drug News

'I very much enjoyed the style of writing, its incisiveness, and liked also the introduction setting out what each particular chapter is about, making it a real practical book to have.
