Item description from the seller

We drink to celebrate, to de-stress and to fit in. We barely question it – until we wake up with that vague sense of dread and ask, ‘Why me?’ If you are a perfectly rational person in all other areas of your life, but too often find that one glass of wine turns into a bottle, it isn’t a moral failing or a lack of character. It’s biology.

In Why We Drink Too Much, leading surgeon and clinical researcher Dr Charles Knowles combines jaw-dropping science with his own harrowing journey as a recovering alcoholic to reveal what is really happening in our brains. With sharp wit and professional rigour, he unpacks:

The Reward System: Why alcohol hijacks our survival instincts and overrides our ability to choose.
The ‘Drinking Champion’ Phenotype: Why some of us are genetically primed to feel more reward from every sip.
A 12-Principle Blueprint: A science-backed guide to reclaiming your choice and moving toward long-term neutrality or sobriety.
