Opis

First published in 1951, this was the last book by Hermann Levy who died in 1949 before it was finished. Completed by R. P. Lynton, it looks alcohol as a drink, both economically and socially. Divided into 3 parts – in brief: what is the drink problem and what are its effects; how widespread is its incidence; and what can be done about it.
