Why Can't I Drink Like Everyone Else?
Author: Rachel HartPublisher: Morgan James Publishing

Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
From a certified life coach, a guide for the sober curious on how to take a break from alcohol. Many people have silently asked themselves why can’t I drink like everyone else? They wonder why sometimes it feels like alcohol has a pull over them, that they don’t understand, and don’t like to talk about. They are frustrated that other people can control how much they drink without any problem, when their efforts are often hit or miss. Rachel Hart has spent years trying to answer these questions for herself and untangle this mystery. Deep down, she was afraid that her drinking was always going to be a problem, and grew more and more frustrated of the repercussions. As the years mounted, she worried that not being able to rein herself in meant something was really wrong with her. There is a solution?and it doesn’t require anyone to wear a label for the rest of their life or admit to being powerless. In fact, the tools outlined inside will reveal just how much power there is within each and every person struggling with this issue.
I Drink Therefore I Am
Author: Roger ScrutonPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1408194694
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Here Scruton explains the connection between good wine and serious thought with a heady mix of humour and philosophy. We are familiar with the medical opinion that a daily glass of wine is good for the health and also the rival opinion that any more than a glass or two will set us on the road to ruin. Whether or not good for the body, Scruton argues, wine, drunk in the right frame of mind, is definitely good for the soul. And there is no better accompaniment to wine than philosophy. By thinking with wine, you can learn not only to drink in thoughts but to think in draughts. This good-humoured book offers an antidote to the pretentious clap-trap that is written about wine today and a profound apology for the drink on which civilisation has been founded. In vino veritas.

Drinking Dilemmas
Author: Thomas Thurnell-ReadPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317395603
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Drinking and drunkenness have become a focal point for political and media debates to contest notions of responsibility, discipline and risk; yet, at the same time, academic studies have highlighted the positive aspects of drinking in relation to sociability, belonging and identity. These issues are at the heart of this volume, which brings together the work of academics and researchers exploring social and cultural aspects of contemporary drinking practices. These drinking practices are enormously varied and are spatially and culturally defined. The contributions to the volume draw on research settings from across the UK and beyond to demonstrate both the complexity and diversity of drinking subjectivities and practices. Across these examples tensions relating to gender, social class, age and the life course are particularly prominent. Rather than align to now long-established moral discourses about what constitutes ‘good’ and ‘bad’ drinking, sociological approaches to alcohol foreground the vivid, lived, nature of alcohol consumption and the associated experiences of drunkenness and intoxication. In doing so, the volume illuminates the controversial yet important social and cultural roles played by drink for individuals and groups across a range of social contexts.

Book Description
The book is for those persons who have become somewhat disenchanted with the portrayal of religion as the end all answer to all of their most important questions relating to life and its peculiarities. Hence, an attempt has been made, after spending years in Seminary (Boston University) and working as an assistant to a pastor at a large Community Church in the Syracuse area. The book attempts to address those types of concerns and issues which have proved so challenging to persons who have begun to form their own opinions about topics which all persons confront over the course of their lifetimes.
