Why We Drink Too Much: The Impact of Alcohol on Our Bodies and Culture - Hardcover
by Charles Knowles (Author)
"In a useful entry in the growing canon of 'quit lit, ' Charles Knowles blends science and memoir to persuade readers to cut down on alcohol." --New York Times Book Review
We drink it, celebrate with it, and barely question it--but what is alcohol really doing to us?
Author Biography
Dr. Charles Knowles, MA, PhD, FRCS, FASCRS, is Professor of Surgery at Queen Mary University of London. Qualifying as a doctor from the University of Cambridge, he continues to practice as a consultant colorectal surgeon. Knowles has authored more than three hundred peer-reviewed publications and contributed to several major international surgical textbooks. Why We Drink Too Much is his first popular science book with his own journey providing the impetus to explore a subject that almost cost him his life. He now champions the idea that problematic drinking is not a problem of weak will or low moral integrity and believes that the term alcoholic should no longer be seen as a dirty word that can be revealed only anonymously.
