"Beat the Booze is a must read for anyone in anyway connected with this illness. It is written in a clear and effective way and brings to life the real problems behind Alcoholism. Equally, it gives everyone hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel - you won't be able to put it down." - Keith Burns, MD ADMIT Services Group, Rehab Referral Specialists
"Beat the Booze is very easy to read and provides excellent information and advice to the reader, whether they are someone who wants to beat the booze or someone who wants to help others do so." - Dr Olivia Carlton, former Registrar of Faculty of Occupational Medicine
"This book sets out simply and comprehensively the strategies that people can adopt who feel that alcohol is taking over their lives. I regard it as essential reading for anyone who worries that they may have a drink problem and for people around them, including employers, who are faced with having to deal with the consequences of such problems." - Professor Mike O'Donnell, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Medical Services, UNUM

"First class, in setting out why we have the problem and also the wider reactions of countries in Europe to our own country's self-induced ills. The book also provides real practical help to those who have succumbed in various ways to heavy drinking. How to beat it personally and the appropriate reactions of family and wider society are all very well set out." - Professor Roger Williams, CBE, Director of the Institute of Hepatology, International Centre for Research into Liver Disorders

It is structured and optimistic in style which reflects the way in which therapists and practitioners seek to work effectively with individuals. The open and evidence-based approach means the book can be recommended to practitioners and patients alike. I am pleased to add this title to my substance misuse library." - Dr Linda Harris, Director, Royal College of General Practitioners Substance Misuse Unit
