Drinking: A Love Story by Caroline Knapp

3.0

Knapp is a skillful writer. I was particularly interested inhow she describes the difference between a heavy drinker and an alcoholic, as well as the many rationalizations one makes to keep oneself in the former camp. While not without its flaws, I thought it successful as a window into the mindset of a problem drinker, and gave me some insight into how I might understand people in my life with substance abuse issues.
