Alcohol 101: Overview / Teens (Teen Overviews) [Library Binding]

Margaret Hyde (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 5 Up-Beginning with basic statistics on alcoholism, the authors move on to a look at the confusing messages coming at teens from the media, friends, and even parents. The different types of liquor are described and the physical and medical effects of alcohol consumption are presented clearly and concisely, with a special emphasis on binge drinking. Appropriate space is devoted to alcoholism and its effects on the drinkers and those around them, with a separate chapter designed to help readers determine if they have a problem. The book is remarkably nonjudgmental, nonsensationalized, and compassionately objective in its presentation of information. A good update to Hyde's Alcohol: Uses and Abuses (Enslow, 1988; o.p.).
