About this listen

Alcohol Explained is the definitive, ground-breaking guide to alcohol and alcoholism. It explains how alcohol affects human beings on a chemical, physiological, and psychological level, from those first drinks right up to chronic alcoholism. Alcoholism and problem drinking seems illogical to those on the outside; indeed, it is equally perplexing for the alcoholic or problem drinker. This audiobook provides a logical, easy-to-follow explanation of the phenomenon and detailed instructions on how to beat it. Despite being entirely scientific and factual in nature, the audiobook is presented in an accessible and easily understandable format.

For more information and to read the first five chapters for free, please visit www.alcoholexplained.com.

"This is an excellent book written by an inquisitive and educated author who during a period of his life suffered from alcoholism. The book explains in an easily understood language the various effects that alcohol has on our body. In my opinion the text would serve as a great handbook not only for those struggling with alcohol but also medical students as part of their education. I am sure some of my own patients troubled with alcoholism in recent years could have benefited from reading William’s book and I will be recommending it going forward." - Håvard Molvik, MD, MRCS, MSc, MRCGP

Fantastic, insightful and thus far - life changing. It has given me the tools to finally end my unhealthy (putting it mildly) relationship with alcohol.

Extremely well written and professionally narrated. I was on my way to becoming a problem drinker. Thanks to this book I have totally stopped all alcohol and don’t miss it at all. Understanding the concepts that are explained in this book enabled me to see that what I thought of as fairly harmless drinking habits and preferences were in fact paving the way to full blown addiction. I can honestly say that I don’t have cravings, don’t have to use willpower and am much much happier, and I most definitely attribute this to the information I learnt from this book. It is most definitely worth the investment. I have the physical copy and the audio version. I work long hours so I don’t always have time to sit down and read so the audio version is brilliant for that. Also, I learnt a separate concept in a different book about the usefulness of repetition. There’s a lot of current cultural harmful myths about alcohol that we are all exposed to during our lives. To counteract this I found it helpful to play the audio version more than once (often when I was doing chores round the house or commuting to and from work) to really let the message soak in.

Life changing. Saved me from alcohol addiction

outstanding help in helping me quit drinking
