just wanted to share a couple books about the physical side of alcoholism [View all]

in the 1984 Ketcham and Milam put out a book "Under the Influence" which is a quick read and an excellent explanation of the way the body reacts to alcohol. it was extremely helpful to me.

Ms. Ketcham had updated the information and put out "Beyond the Influence" in 2000 with the latest studies.

If you think you have a problem with alcohol, or love someone who does, these books may be $$ well spent.
