Alcohol has been around for a long time.The marketing machine that promotes the sale of alcoholic drinks tends to focus on relaxation, leisure activities and social gatherings. No party, it seems, is worthy of any note without vast quantities of alcohol being consumed. But are we paying a high price for allowing this drug to be sold in countless retail premises across the country? It seems that alcohol consumption has now reached dangerous and epidemic levels. Governments across the world have cracked down hard on smoking - so why has alcohol avoided similar action? After all, the harm caused by alcohol to our communities far outweighs any damage that has ever been caused by smoking. The effects of alcohol on individuals, families and society as a whole has been immense and extremely costly. John Campbell understands alcohol.

During this time he studied and researched the effects that alcohol has on a modern society. Combining research with his own personal experiences, he now exposes the truth about alcohol and the worrying impact it has on your life - whether you drink it or not
