Review:
''Drink by Ann Dowsett Johnston is a powerful and deeply personal exploration of the increasingly complex relationship between women and alcohol. Johnston, an award-winning journalist, draws on her own battle with alcoholism and the powerful experiences of others to reveal the hidden epidemic of binge drinking among women. The book argues that alcohol has become a coping mechanism for women facing the pressures of modern life, and that this relationship has spiraled out of control. Susan Cheever called it 'a powerful and important book,' and the Washington Post described it as 'a wallop of a book.' Intimate, honest, and offering a brave new approach to female recovery and lasting sobriety, Drink is essential reading for any woman who thinks she has a problem, and for those who care about her. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in addiction, women's health, and the social forces that shape our lives.''
