But in the midst of early sobriety, when no longer able to anesthetize her pain and anxiety, she realized that she was actually the lucky one. Lucky to feel her feelings, live honestly, really be with her daughter, change her legacy.

We live in a world obsessed with drinking. We drink at work events, lunches, book clubs and weddings. Yet no one ever questions alcohol's ubiquity. In fact, the only thing ever questions is why people don't drink. It is a qualifier for belonging. As a society, we are obsessed with health and wellness, yet we uphold alcohol as some sort of magic elixir. It is anything but. When Holly Whitaker started to look for a way to recover, the support systems she found for recovery where archaic and patriarchal.

Summary
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

Life changing
Ok so it’s only been a couple of months but this book has seriously changed my life. It explains the logic behind what makes us drink - how we manage time and again to “over drink”, why we get “the fear”, and why we get greedy for more when we start drinking. Once I knew the reasons, drinking became much less attractive and began to seem almost completely pointless. So now I’m drinking once a month instead of 4/5 times a week thanks to this book.

To do Dry January or Not?
I really liked this especially as it was narrated by the author.
No goals are set !
The bare facts are told and it does make you think!
I do not drink heavily but am conscious that since retiring I do not have many days off.
Also over the Christmas period the tendency is to just drink too much.
Read this and you will think again. Your body your choice!

Asperger's and alcohol
I've been drinking to handle the daily sensory overload and anxiety in my life, I'm autistic (Asperger's) and I was drinking mostly at the end of the day, by myself or with my partner. The only benefit of drinking for me was to make my day shorter. However, (the writer writes "however" a lot now I'm saying it all the time haha), I realized before I read this book that alcohol was destroying my sleep, I would wake up in the middle of the night in extreme anxiety, even panic attacks, where I would usually have all my worst fears being played in my head like a movie. I stopped drinking for many months but started again end of 2021, in a desperate attempt to make my days more bearable, but drinking again made no sense (however I didn't know how to stop for good) so I decided to try to stop again so I went looking for a book and after looking at about 32 books, I went for this one. The way the book is explained really suits me. I need facts, this book gave me fact after fact. I need logic, this book was logical. I need to the point explanations, and I need repetition to analyze each idea over and over. This book did all this. I'm now completely sure I will never drink again, thanks to this book . My sleep has improved to the point I haven't had a sleepless night in weeks. I'm also more stable than I've been in years, and my daily problems feel a bit easier to handle. I think alcohol was also making me depressed, I could sit on the floor rocking and crying for hours every day in complete agony (now I know it was mainly withdrawal) because everything felt completely unbearable, now I'm more able to accept that I have some extra issues in my life but that alcohol was making it worse. I've started looking for other tools to organize myself and calm myself down such as mindfulness, a reminder watch, heavy blanket for anxiety, journaling, helpful apps etc. I'm so happy to feel I don't ever have to drink again. Oh by the way my partner listened to this book and stopped too. We're saving money so I'll get a bike and a summer chair for the garden so I can enjoy the short summer in the Isles. I'm currently reading alcohol explained 2 which is so far great but that's a different review so I'll just stop here thanks for reading if you read this far, I wish you happiness in your sober life.

However.........
It seems to me that the author/reader had a side bet with someone on how many times he could use the word 'however'. I found it distracting and completely unnecessary. The content was interesting and worthy but the over-use of this one word made it monotonous to say the least. It was so bad that it lead me to drink!

Life Changing
I found this book after completing Annie Grace’s excellent audiobook This Naked Life. I was watching Annie’s online video where she interviews William Porter about alcohol, his research regarding alcohol and addiction, and his personal experience with alcohol and addiction. I found him to be bright, well-spoken and relatable, so I searched out this book. If you are interested in understanding your own drinking or you are thinking of moderating or giving up alcohol altogether, this is an excellent resource. I went into my reading of Annie Grace’s book with a hope to figure out a better way to moderate my drinking but quickly had an epiphany that the real solution to my struggle to moderate was to stop drinking altogether. This is a decision that is shocking to everyone who knows me. I’m not some raging alcoholic, not even close, so people are confused. But they don’t know how hard I have been struggling for years to moderate my drinking. The goals I set, the internal negotiations I go through, the decisions I make about not keeping extra wine in the house or putting a lock on my liquor cabinet to keep me out of it — the effort, the energy the battle to stay a moderate social drinker has been exhausting. And despite my diligence, I overindulged at least once a week and would wake up hungover and full of self- loathing and regret. Finally, with the help of this book and Annie Grace’s books I understand what I need to do, it’s so clear to me, so obvious. I just have to stop. So I have. I am alcohol free and so happy about it! It’s like I’ve been released from an invisible jail that I didn’t even know I was in! Thank you William Porter for writing bb this book. You have literally changed my life!

An appropriate title
AE is a great book on the effects of alcohol and how those effects influence the human body and social spectrum. More importantly, William shines a light on how little we know about those effects, and how that ignorance has lead to a society where many people defend their ignorance in the name of fun.
I especially enjoyed the chapter on how the brain reacts to alcohol, after it's become used to it. Like the ability to remember the street you grew up on as a child, your brain carves similar pathways when it comes to alcohol. Only instead of the pathways being beneficial--knowing your way home--they become detrimental. If you're reading this and have become the type of person where the idea of drinking only 1 or 2 drinks for the night is unacceptable, this book will explain why. And in a way that's palatable.
If you've been a binge drinker or heavy drinker for years, and you want to stop, but don't like the woo woo mysticism of AA, this book can be a cannon in your arsenal. It explains well the effects of quitting drinking, and why even having one drink can lead to full blown relapse; often worse than before.

Concerned about your alcohol intake?
If you’ve ever been concerned about how much you drink and what alcohol is doing to your mind, body and spirit, I encourage you to read (or listen to) this book! It certainly opened my eyes to what I have been doing to myself... I have only been 28 days alcohol free... but this book cements the idea that is the way I want to live from now on!
I will no doubt listen to this book several more times!

I read this book to get a better understanding of what my boyfriend, who is an alcoholic is going through. I thought I knew it all already, but I had a lot of aha moments reading this book. I wish the author dove into the depression side of alcoholism a little bit more and not just saying "to just seek the advice from a Dr," like every4one else does.

I really would love this audiobook if he didn’t say “however” so so so so so many times! It becomes super distracting and grating. However [sic], the information is great, so I will continue with the torturous irritation….

A decent tool for your teetotaling arsenal
I enjoyed learning more about the effects of alcohol on the brain and body but cringed at the author's smug attitude and preachy "my way is the only way to effectively stop drinking" tone. There are some excellent points not to be missed, but there are lots of methods to quit drinking. This book is definitely one of them if you're still searching for what works for you. It's too bad that he feels the need to self-righteously put down other methods as it distracts and potentially invalidates his own method. There is some great stuff in here, so definitely check it out, but don't give up on other methods if this book isn't your magic bullet.
