Produktbeschreibung
An in-depth study of the effects of alcohol on users, the community, the nation of New Zealand, and globally - everything you need to know about alcohol. This compendium of verified data on alcohol examines nearly every aspect of its involvement in our lives, our community, our country, and globally. Alcohol: a dangerous love affair is written for anyone interested in alcohol, as even moderate drinkers are at a health risk. The data available is enormous, but we are left with the impression that our political peers have conveniently ignored this elephant in the room. This compendium of verified data on alcohol examines nearly every aspect of its involvement in our lives, our community, our country, and globally. We can learn from how other countries endeavour to legislate for alcohol control. Suggested legislation is put forward by the New Zealand Medical Association. Alcohol is highly addictive and can destroy a person's life. The nature of the addiction is described, and how it affects the brain. Some tips for low risk drinking are given as well as strategies for controlling alcohol consumption.
