5.0 out of 5 stars
Concise and witty, will entertain and inform.,
This review is from: Buzz: The Science and Lore of Alcohol and Caffeine (Paperback)
"Buzz" by Stephen Braun is one of the best science books I've read in a while. Mr. Braun destroyes popular myths about society's most popular drugs, and he replaces those myths with facts and evidence. Often those facts are just as interesting as the myths! The book is witty and full of insight and advice about caffeine and alcohol. A must read for people curious about the two most popular drugs on the planet.

This review is from: Buzz: The Science and Lore of Alcohol and Caffeine (Paperback)
Although I know somewhat more than the average person about both substances, This book gave me new information presented in an interesting style. I would recommend it highly both to the casual reader and to educational programs for medical and substance abuse communities.And, the guy has a sense of humor!!

An interesting blur of scientific fact about alcohol,
By A Customer
This review is from: Buzz: The Science and Lore of Alcohol and Caffeine (Paperback)
The book lifts into the hard core facts about alcolhol, caffine, drugs, and other stimulants while keeping a common sense attitude to the subject. Very interesting, especially for the college student.
