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

Life Changing!!

If you are struggling with alcohol addiction, this book will either cure you or send you well on your path to being cured.

So thankful for this new approach (knowledge) to alcohol addiction, without all of the mumbo jumbo that has been the sole approach offered to alcohol addicts up until now.

Thank you!!!

I'm an alcoholic and have been sober just over eight year, thanks to my higher power and the 12 step program of AA, however I feel the author has an experience equal to my own. I will recommend this book to those who may not accept their own addiction for what it is, or may have an aversion to a spiritual program but need to sober up all the same.

Thoughtful info

Insightful to understand how alcohol actually works in body and the mind. Helpful in many ways to understand why folks seem to get lost and ways to re-examine the role alcohol has in your life.
