One of the Washington Post's Ten Best Books of 2013
More than twenty-three thousand women die from heavy drinking in
the United States each year. Incidents of binge drinking and
so-called drunkorexia are on the rise, contributing to an
exponential increase in the number of health conditions and cancers
among women.
Combining in-depth research with her own personal story of
recovery, the award-winning journalist Ann Dowsett Johnston tells
of maintaining her high-powered career as a vice principal of
McGill University while wrestling with the demon that defeated her
own mother: alcohol addiction. After a very private exit from her
professional life, Dowsett Johnston went to rehab; now sober, she
has dedicated her career to examining the relationship between
women and high-risk drinking.
In Drink, Dowsett Johnston dissects the psychological, social,
and workplace factors that contribute to this crisis, and explores
its far-reaching effect on both society at large and individual
lives. Comprehensive and emotionally compelling, Drink is a brave
and powerful story, beautifully told, and an important
investigation into an epidemic that we can no longer afford to
ignore.
