Stories turn up all the time: altercations on airliners, brawls in
bars, or domestic disputes that end in gunfire. The catchphrase is
usually the same: "Alcohol was involved." Alcohol often fuels less
physically dangerous but more emotionally stressful confrontations
at parties, business conclaves, or family dinner tables, manifested
as cruel, hurtful words that can have devastating long-term effects
on the recipients. The catchphrase? "That was the booze talking."
In Mean Drunk: Anger, Hostility, and Alcohol, William Tappan moves
beyond the cliches and excuses to reveal the science behind the
behavior. Drawing upon the latest scientific research in the field,
illustrated by a broad array of dramatic case studies drawn from
news stories, personal accounts, and his own decades of experience,
Tappan defines and explains the hostility reaction to alcohol - HRA
- as a specific neurobiological result of alcohol use. The evidence
he presents points to cytokines: multifunctional proteins that
trigger a defensive brain reaction to a perceived threat during
alcohol consumption. Although firmly based in science, Mean Drunk
also presents a series of shocking, moving, and sometimes bizarre
stories of HRA as it leaves a trail of emotional damage, physical
injury, and even death in its wake. From celebrities' widely
publicized encounters with the law (Reese Witherspoon, Mel Gibson)
and headline-grabbing public fistfights precipitated by everyone
from laborers to professionals to the most potentially damaging
encounters - those within families - Mean Drunk lays out the
horrific results catalyzed by the neurobiological cause. A
groundbreaking explanation of HRA, Mean Drunk moves beyond accounts
of human distress to point a way to greater understanding of an
all-too-common and neglected problem for both perpetrators and
victims, offering the possibility of their choosing a path to a
happier and more productive life. Mean Drunk is a must-read for
alcohol research professionals, counselors, those personally
affected by HRA, and anyone interested in the causes of this
devastating social and emotional puzzle.
