Rethinking Drinking

From Dry January to Sober October, growing numbers of people are taking a fresh look at their relationship to alcohol. Some feel inspired to stop drinking altogether. Many others seek to make alcohol consumption a conscious choice, rather than an automatic habit. From expert psychologists William R. Miller and Ricardo F. Muñoz--who have devoted their careers to helping people make desired changes--this encouraging, nonjudgmental book is for everyone. Drs. Miller and Muñoz guide readers to explore what they get out of drinking, identify potentially harmful patterns, and make their own decisions about whether, when, and how much they consume. Grounded in emerging knowledge about alcohol's effects on health, the book is filled with vivid stories, self-quizzes, checklists, and tips. Readers get science-based strategies for achieving their goals--plus a toolkit of zero-proof ways to kick back, cope with stress, and feel more connected to others.
