Not likely but I was 20 when I read this book, I wasn't an alcoholic or a drinker for many years. not with kids or even girlfriend. without any medical problems or any so called reason to read this book And yet I have only one word to say about this book: BRILLIANT. This book is recommended for anyone who drinks as such - even if he drink once a week, a month, a year! If you didn't read the book yet - DON'T BE PANIC to read it, believe ME i know how much alcohol let us believe he has such strong benefits. People have a tendency to fear from this book, because they are afraid they will lose something, I IMPLORE you to muster the courage to read it, remember, you have nothing to lose! Honestly, I want you to read this book not because of health or money, I want you to read this book for the simple reason: You enjoy MORE of your life. As in ANY social event that you can't imagine before without alcohol. Guaranteed!

This book should go viral - it could change the world as we know it! It answered all the questions I had about drinking! We are brainwashed for sure, everything revolves around social drinking. How one drink leads to another! It is common sense to not waste time, health and money drinking alcohol! I haven't quit drinking I just don't want to anymore - what an amazing book and concept. Saved me!

Can I advise anyone wishing to give up alcohol that this is the 5 star read, I can only do all or nothing (vodka & slimline tonic) and for me it's nothing! Sounds boring but it's transformed my life and the way my Family & indeed my Husband feel about me, my whole outlook is amazing, if i'd known this was how it was to be I would have done this years ago. I would drink 6 nights with a monday off, monday ended up being a drinking night aswell so when it came to 7 nights for month's I decided i'd had enough, i'd bought the book about 2 years ago and it lay untouched for that time, i work a bit with whats to be will be so the time was right for me, I decided to go for it!!! So if your holding back unsure where it will take you,just do it, enjoy the year ahead, Spring is here and Summer is just around the corner, the world is your Oyster. PS.... I used to smoke 20 a day aswell and gave up using 24hr patches, if I can do it anyone can. Good Luck :)

I would totally recommend Allen Carr's Easy Way to Control Alcohol to anyone who is struggling with addiction to alcohol and perhaps like myself has tried and failed in AA. After all, they say (outside of AA) that the AA failure rate is 95%. I think this book must have a massive success rate. It made total common sense to me. I agree that this book is totally compelling! Its the best book I've ever read about addiction and alcohol. The book is written so well and it makes such interesting reading although most of the things are common sense when you are in the depths of drinking you just choose to or cannot see it for what it is. Only bad point is perhaps the anti-aa campain although he claims to have things in common with aa and has nothing against them.
