Publisher's summary
World-renowned Professor of Neuropsychopharmacology, David Nutt - breaks down the science and effect of alcohol on our health, mood, sleep, productivity, how it travels through our bodies and brains - and explains on a practical level how we can make changes to positively impact our relationship with it and understanding of it; thereby improving our quality of life for the long-term.
He will examine what the future holds for this normalised drug that governs our society and lives but is becoming increasingly unpopular due to its detrimental impact on our wellbeing. Booze Control will do what Matthew Walker did for Sleep and Giulia Enders did for our Gut - and help us make informed choices, at the very least. David will illuminate our minds on this important and timely subject.

What could possibly be “lucky” about addiction? Absolutely nothing, thought Laura McKowen when drinking brought her to her knees. As she puts it, she “kicked and screamed . . . wishing for something - anything - else” to be her issue. The people who got to drink normally, she thought, were so damn lucky. 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 baby showers and work events, brunch and book club, graduations and funerals. Yet no one ever questions alcohol’s ubiquity—in fact, the only thing ever questioned is why someone doesn’t drink. It is a qualifier for belonging and if you don’t imbibe, you are considered an anomaly. As a society, we are obsessed with health and wellness, yet we uphold alcohol as some kind of magic elixir, though it is anything but.

In a culture where sipping "rosé all day" is seen as the epitome of relaxation, "grabbing a drink" the only way to network; and meeting at a bar the quintessential "first date", many of us are left wondering if drinking alcohol really is the only way to cultivate joy and connection in life. Jardine Libaire and Amanda Eyre Ward wanted to live spontaneous and luxurious lives, to escape the ordinary and enjoy the intoxicating. Their drinking, however, had started to numb them to the present moment instead of unlocking it.

Never before have women been in such a hurry to do so many things and be there for so many people. The pace of modern life has drastically increased - but even though our minds can go faster and technology allows us to get more done, our bodies still have cavewoman-like biology - which means they cannot respond healthily to the new and constant pressures we experience. In this book, nutritional biochemist Dr. Libby Weaver explains how a stressful, fast-paced lifestyle can have dangerous effects on all areas of a woman's health.

Story
While plenty of entertaining books have been written about the history of alcohol and other intoxicants, none have offered a comprehensive, convincing answer to the basic question of why humans want to get high in the first place. Drunk elegantly cuts through the tangle of urban legends and anecdotal impressions that surround our notions of intoxication to provide the first rigorous, scientifically grounded explanation for our love of alcohol.

Story
Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don't sleep. Compared to the other basic drives in life - eating, drinking, and reproducing - the purpose of sleep remained elusive.

Science-based discussion of pros & cons of alcohol
Such a great book by a person who combines experience with national policy on alcohol, 50 years of clinical practice, and an extensive research career. Pretty uncommon to get all three. I highly recommend.

Some good info, but probably won't help you quit
This book contains some good information about the impact of alcohol, both on the individual and on society, but if you are looking for a book to help you quit, it wouldn't be my top recommendation. If that's what you're looking for, try "Naked Mind" by Annie Grace or "Alcohol Explained" by William Porter.
I believe that Nutt hugely underestimates people's abilities to keep their drinking in check, or to moderate. Almost every drinker I know, over time, will either become a binge drinker or daily drinker. The general trend is to drink more and more. And the idea of making rules for yourself such as "no drinks after 8pm" or "I'll never have more than two" or "I'll only drink from Friday to Sunday" are nearly impossible not to break and mean that you are constantly thinking about alcohol, looking forward to your "drinking days" and undervaluing the days when you don't get to drink.
Nutt is absolutely right that the alcohol industry has far too much power and that many governments are in bed with the alcohol industry. Alcohol should definitely come with warning labels, advertising should be limited, and we should lessen the presence of alcohol in TV shows and movies. It only serves to glamorise a drug that does more harm than good.
Nutt does well at highlighting many of the problems with alcohol and I think his is an important voice in the public sphere regarding lessening the impact of alcohol on individuals and society at large. However, I think his impulse to encourage people to be moderate drinkers is not realistic when you take into account the addictive nature of the drug.

Great book - problem with reader.
Loved all the information in this book but got a bit frustrated with the reader’s voice: he’d start a sentence with strong vocal tones and then let it drop at the very end. There were times when I just couldn’t figure out what he said. A shame because the info was great.

Awesome facts, a little hard to hear at times.
As a bartender, I think everyone who drinks should consider reading this book! It is a great way to learn to about the consequences of drinking: the good and bad. Also, it is great to know all these facts to share while bartending. Thank you Professor Nut!
One thing: it was hard to hear at times. The narrator would start a point clearly, and finish off in a whisper. I think I missed out on a lot of conclusions because of this.

Very informative and helpful!
It was very surprising to hear the facts about alcohol that never seem to be mentioned, and the studies that have been conducted about alcohol. For those who want to know more about alcohol for themselves, or maybe for a family member or a friend, I highly recommend giving this book a listen. Professor David Nutt was a pleasure to listen to, and laid out the facts in a very informative and pleasing way!

Strong British accent
I love the writing, information, and message. I was unable to thoroughly understand what the narrator was saying; especially towards the end of his sentences. He would start each sentence, speaking loud and clear, and then his words would trail off becoming very quiet and faint. I was unable to hear the last two or three words of each sentence which may have been valuable information. I’ll never know because they didn’t hear it. Otherwise, the book was great.
