This is a revision of the successful outdated 2011 title The Science of Drinking: How Alcohol Affects Your Body and Mind

Description

Alcohol is a double-edged sword with many health benefits if consumed in moderation but detrimental if consumed in excess.

Therefore, it is important for the general public to understand how to consume alcohol sensibly, its health benefits, as well as the dangers of drinking in excess. The first edition of the book focused on guidelines for drinking based on published scientific evidence of the health benefits of alcohol, as well as the adverse effects of consuming too much alcohol, without providing any judgement on what a person should or should not do. Those guidelines were changed in 2015.

The 2nd edition of the book will provide new guidelines on how much to drink during a nice evening dinner without taking any risk of DWI, and will include updated scientific information based on publications from 2011 until 2024. After reading The Science of Drinking, a reader may enjoy their next drink with a fuller understanding of the rewards of consuming alcohol in moderation.
