Synopsis:

This is a true and unflinching look at the consequences of drinking alcohol daily to the extreme.

Ever wake up after a night of boozing with thunder raging in your head and you can’t remember a thing?

Meet Frank Burroughs, a self-proclaimed “professional” alcoholic for more than thirty years. Born into a family of problem drinkers, Frank started his drinking career in high school, and it quickly became his favorite pastime. Daily hangovers were just another day in the life and nothing that a little "hair of the dog" wouldn't cure. In vivid and often embarrassing detail, Frank describes the rapid progression of his addiction and the circumstances that led him to spend more than $10,000 a year on alcohol.

Despite acquiring the finely honed skills of a seasoned alcoholic, three decades of heavy drinking were not kind to Frank, his body, or his health. After hundreds, perhaps thousands, of failed attempts at getting sober, Frank typed “medical marijuana for alcoholism” in an internet search. This was a life-changing moment for a man whose best friend and greatest foe had always been a bottle of booze.

If you drink too much or know someone that does, this book describes an alternative path to sobriety!
