Summary
Alcohol is a drug that has achieved the ultimate illusion. It has managed to convince the western world that it isn’t a drug at all, but rather a harmless social pleasantry. A product that does none of the things that the marketing promises that it does and yet remains unchallenged for such false advertising.
A beverage that kills over 63,000 people a year and yet still remains legal in virtually every country around the world. Craig Beck is known as the Stop Drinking Expert because he helps people to see the truth about alcohol, hidden behind the smoke and mirrors of the marketing and our own self-created social conditioning.
His book Alcohol Lied to Me has topped best seller charts for many years and has been translated into several different languages."Alcohol is the ultimate wolf in sheep’s clothing, a deeply insidious and dangerous drug packaged into pretty bottles and marketed as a fun, social pleasantry by the drinks manufacturers. The western world is conditioned from birth to believe that good times and alcohol go hand in hand. In reality consuming this drug is like playing a very dangerous game of Buckaroo, the longer you keep playing the more chance you have the mule will kick and destroy your world." (Craig Beck)
In The Alcohol Illusion Craig gives away the secrets of the magician and helps you see how the drug traps you and keeps you locked in a never ending loop. Once you see how the trick is done…escape is only a matter of time. If you are worried about your drinking this audiobook can change your life!

Perfectly explained
I enjoyed Craig’s delivery and explanation of the alcohol problem. It’s a sensible way of seeing alcohol in the way it should be.. Poison.

Amazing uncovering of the lies we believe!
If you sometimes question those regular glasses of wine you have....then invest the cost of a glass and take the time to read or listen to this book.

Engaging
Look for the similarities not the differences. The basics of using is here but that’s as far is the book goes.
If your looking for anything more in-depth then just the outside looking in then this book won’t do it.

Very interesting
I started listening to this audiobook just out of interest. I had stopped drinking for a few days and six months later I haven’t started back. Something about the book caused me to loose interest in drink and I have found that I am enjoying socialising much more as I am not constrained by depending on others for transport. When I am tempted or feel pressured to have a drink I remember that I am poisoning myself every time I have a drink. These days the non alcoholic alternatives taste much the same.

A must read for everyone who drinks alcohol
An incredibly well written and well narrated account of the evils of alcohol and how we as a society have normalised a powerful and dangerous drug that not to partake in it makes us feel that we are not normal and makes us stand out, The author shows how we are continuing generations of abuse of this drug and the impact on our health and wealth and how we are passing this habit onto the next generation. A timely reminder for me to again abstain from drinking as I have done successfully when I have followed the logic and not allowed myself to be seduced back to drinking by society. This book will help break the trance that most of us are in without the need for willpower.. Highly recommended read!

Insightful
Realisation that willpower is not enough.reprogramming how we think and feel about alcohol is essential, it is also not the go to for stress relief.

Stating the obvious
Yes is a useful insight to beating the dreaded A word
The real life stories are heartbreaking and makes you wonder why anyone drinks at all - which is the point I guess!
Overall worth a listen tho the Americanisms is off putting and pointless! - when your from the UK talking about the UK - it’s pounds not dollers - Maths - not Math - holidays - not Vacations list goes on - just saying!
