Alcohol is everywhere. Walk down any street in the western world and before long your feet will kick against an empty beer can, or your attention will be captured by an alluring advertisement that suggests that alcohol can magically transform your life. Its use is integral to many aspects of popular culture, but it is also a substance that has at times been preached against and even prohibited.

In this book, Griffith Edwards uses both history and chemistry to explore the whole issue of alcohol. Is it medicine, a delightful potion, poison, or a mysterious combination of all three? What part has alcohol played in various cultures and religions? Why do different people behave differently when drunk? What cures for habitual inebriation were popular in the past? Why is alcoholism considered a disease? What is "safe drinking"? Is alcohol good for the heart? Do current treatments work? Does Alcoholics Anonymous have the answer?

Armed with the best solid information science, history, and sociology have to offer, Edwards asks how, in the light of this knowledge, society might in the future better handle this pleasure-giving, somewhat dangerous drug. Can society get its pleasure out of alcohol without the inevitable suffering that accompanies misuse? If so, what steps should we take to protect ourselves and others?

Already considered in England to be a classic in the field, Alcohol will prove to be fascinating reading for the drinker and nondrinker alike.

Beautiful white teeth
This works great. I always keep my teeth, nice and clean and bright and white and usually I have to buy Dental whitening, but this is the first time I found a product that you can just brush your teeth a few times a week and it keeps your teeth, nice and white.

Refreshing toothpaste that helps to deep clean your teeth.
Good tasting toothpaste that cleans my teeth well. It seems to have a tiny bit of grit to it to help remove stains on your teeth. The tube is quite small. So, you do not get a lot of toothpaste. But a little goes a long way. I think that it did make my teeth a bit whiter. I did not have any sensitivity to it at all.

Works!
This is an updated review changed from 4 stars to 5 stars after using it for a week. This toothpaste actually removed Matcha Green Tea stains that were between my teeth and other tight areas my hygienist couldn't get into. I'd say this is a product for stubborn stains and I wouldn't use it more than maybe a week at a time because it's expensive for the small size you get and I'm not entirely sure what the long term effect is on the teeth.

A month’s worth of toothpaste!!
Does it work well? Who knows. The tube is maybe 4”, so tiny I needed a magnifying glass to read the contents. Maybe month’s worth of toothpaste!!!

Next day results guaranteed!
I got this product to get rid of stubborn coffee stains and right after the first use, I saw immediate results. Shockingly good toothpaste with visible results.
