{"product_id":"ann-dowsett-johnston-drink-9780062241801","title":"Drink","description":"One of the Washington Post's Ten Best Books of 2013 More than twenty-three thousand women die from heavy drinking in the United States each year. Incidents of binge drinking and so-called drunkorexia are on the rise, contributing to an exponential increase in the number of health conditions and cancers among women. Combining in-depth research with her own personal story of recovery, the award-winning journalist Ann Dowsett Johnston tells of maintaining her high-powered career as a vice principal of McGill University while wrestling with the demon that defeated her own mother: alcohol addiction. After a very private exit from her professional life, Dowsett Johnston went to rehab; now sober, she has dedicated her career to examining the relationship between women and high-risk drinking. In Drink, Dowsett Johnston dissects the psychological, social, and workplace factors that contribute to this crisis, and explores its far-reaching effect on both society at large and individual lives. Comprehensive and emotionally compelling, Drink is a brave and powerful story, beautifully told, and an important investigation into an epidemic that we can no longer afford to ignore.","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53414187204950,"sku":"9780062241801-G","price":6.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780062241801_1_e9e29caa-bb46-496b-9aaf-9cb6cb4e9f3f.jpg?v=1778093023","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/ann-dowsett-johnston-drink-9780062241801","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
