Title: Drinking: A Love Story
Review: I thought this book was a beautiful and honest portrayal of the progressiveness and destructiveness of the disease of alcoholism, especially as experienced by a woman. As a substance abuse counselor, it is not often that you come upon stories of alcoholism in women from upper-middle class, well-educated and highly respected families, or at least those that are nationally shared. I applaud Caroline Knapp for providing us with an inside view of alcoholism and the havoc it wreaks on the lives of many. It is a shame that she did not live to tell us her story beyond her first year of sobriety.
