Review
"I strongly recommend this book, both professionally and personally, especially to all alcohol healthcare professionals, hospital doctors, particually A&E staff, students, lay people interested in alcohol, including politicians and Department of Health strategists.
ABC of Alcohol, fourth edition, brings the subject right up to date. In 1994, I bought three copies of the third edition to loan to junior doctors and students writing articles or projects. Only one copy survives. I will not be lending my fourth edition to anybody!"
––Ann R Coll, Surg Engl 2006 88: 84–88
