To Drink or Not to Drink

Written by Richard Peabody in the early 1930s, 'œThe Common Sense of Drinking'� describes alcoholism and the behavior of many alcoholics. Divided into four sections, the book carefully details the condition of alcoholism, along with the diagnosis of the disease, first steps towards successful treatment, and 'œthe cure made effective.'� Republished in 2009 by Tuchy Palmieri as 'œTo Drink or Not To Drink: The Common Sense of Drinking,'� this book, although somewhat dated in parts, still serves as a wonderful resource for anyone interested in studying the early research on the condition of alcoholism.
