Drinking: A Love Story by Caroline Knapp

4.0

After recently reading Knapp's book 'Appetites' I went back and re-read 'Drinking'. Knapp has a masterly skill of taking the events of her own life and using them to explore larger issues than just her own problems. This is an honest and at times brutal look at her own problems with alcohol, and paints a great picture of how alcoholics are not just winos or obvious 'problem' people, but that they can also be people who from the outside seem to have it all together, whereas the reality is that they are struggling with addiction.
