Uncorked
Ronald S Laura, John F Ashton (Ed)Paperback 2009-09-01
UPDATED 2ND EDITION
UNCORKED looks beyond the myths about alcohol, revealing the facts about its effects on the body and society. UNCORKED explores alcohol's links with adverse health effects such as cancer, brain damage and sexual dysfunction, and with social harm including violent behaviour, sexual assaults, relationship breakdown, and road and workplace accidents. Based on health and social research studies, as well as clinical and community observation, UNCORKED is essential and engaging reading for all who care about the health of our communities.
"This book raises a number of disturbing findings about the negative effects of alcohol abuse in society. The authors' solutions to these problems will not appeal to everyone, but they sure make you think! This is a well-written book that deserves a wide readership." Tony Worsley, PhD, Professor of Public Health Nutrition, Deakin University.
"Congratulations to Ashton and Laura for challenging us to think again about the role of alcohol in our lives and our responsibilities to minimise the harm to public health." From the forward, Heather Yeatman, DrPH, Head of the Graduate School of Public Health, University of Wollongong.
