Wasted: A Story of Alcohol, Grief and a Death in Brisbane by Elspeth Muir

2.0

An amusing and timely read, giving a personal account of a turbulent relationship with alcohol as the headlines rage on about alcohol-fuelled violence and Keep Sydney Open campaigns. However, the research didn't delve far enough into the cultural reasons behind Australia's binge cultural and was lacking in insight. Ultimately the conclusion contradicted experiences in the book; why introduce more or stricter controls when the ones already in place are so poorly enforced and easy to get around?
