About this title

Reviews

In the last two decades, millions of dollars have been spent on alcoholism treatment in this country, but little progress has been made in arresting either its incidence or prevalence. Well-known alcoholist Cahalan suggests that a major reason for the persistence of alcoholism is that elected officials are reluctant or unwilling to enact legislation to control drinking or to place restrictions on the liquor industry. An excellent overview of the extent of the alcohol problem in America that offers effective recommendations for combating it. Barbara J. Powell, Veterans Administration Medical Ctr., Kansas City, Mo.
