ALMOST ALCOHOLIC: IS MY (OR MY LOVED ONE’S) DRINKING A PROBLEM?
Book ID/图书代码： 02173013B63917
English Summary/英文概要： Every day, millions of people drink a beer or two while watching a game, shake a cocktail at a party with friends, or enjoy a glass of wine with a good meal. For more than 30 per cent of these drinkers, alcohol has begun to have a negative impact on their everyday lives. Yet, only a small number are true alcoholics--people who have completely lost control over their drinking and who need alcohol to function. The great majority are what Dr. Doyle and Dr. Nowinski call Almost Alcoholics; a growing number of people whose excessive drinking contributes to a variety of problems in their lives. In Almost Alcoholic, Dr. Doyle and Dr. Nowinski provide the tools to: identify and assess your patterns of alcohol use; evaluate its impact on your relationships, work, and personal well-being; develop strategies and goals for changing the amount and frequency of alcohol use; measure the results of applying these strategies; and make informed decisions about your next steps. The Almost Effect TM Series presents books written by Harvard Medical School faculty and other experts that offer guidance on common behavioural and physical problems falling in the spectrum between normal health and a full-blown medical condition. These are the first publications to help general readers recognise and address these problems.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 每天都有几百万人在观看比赛的时候喝上一两杯啤酒，与朋友聚会时用鸡尾酒买醉，抑或在大快朵颐时畅饮葡萄酒。对于超过30﹪的人来说，酒精已经开始对他们的日常生活产生负面的影响。然而，他们中仅有一小部分人是真正意义上的酒鬼——对饮酒已经完全失去控制的人以及那些依靠酒精才能生活的人。绝大多数人都是ROBERT DOYLE博士和NOWINSKII博士所称的那样：“他们离真正的酒鬼不远了”；他们生活中的许多问题都是由过度饮酒导致的。在这本书中，两位博士为这一人群的酗酒问题提供了如下解决方案;统计你每天的饮酒量；分析酗酒对你与另一半的夫妻关系，工作以及个人健康的影响；逐步减少你的饮酒量和喝酒频率；评估你一段时间以来的健康状况；以及制定下一步的计划等等。这一系列的图书是由哈佛医学院的全体教授以及其他专家所共同编写的。他们为普通大众的健康问题提供了全方位的指导和建议，让读者们远离酗酒，享受幸福健康的人生。(Susie)

Almost Alcoholic shines light on behavior that has thus far largely escaped scrutiny—namely drinking that is definitely causing problems even though it doesn’t rise to a diagnostic level—and not only helps individuals understand the costs of their drinking but goes further, offering practical advice and solutions for those so afflicted."—J.Wesley Boyd, MD, PhD
