Synopsis

'Problem Drinking' aims to bridge the wide gap that exists between the modern, scientific account of the nature of alcohol problems and the popular understanding of the subject. It outlines an alternative approach to alcohol problems, based on the premise that they are best seen as examples of socially learned behaviour. Despite the practical focus on British context, the ideas and evidence reviewed in the book have an important, international relevance.
