Drink As Much As You Want and Live Longer: The Intelligent Person's Guide to Healthy Drinking

Rating:
Summary: General guide to health
Review: Contrary to its title, this book gives an overall program for healthy eating, especially useful in its compendium and explanation of supplements and their use.

Amaze you friends with statements like, "Always drink on an EMPTY stomach!", and have the facts to back them up!

Well written in a simple, factual style, with case studies of why and how to be healthier in all ways, including self-defense against the evils of alcohol.

Summary: I hope he's right!
Review: I do drink more than I should but I have no intention of quitting. I have been taking my vitamins like advised in this book. I can't say I feel any better or worse. I think the point is to NOT get sick, that would be the only way to know if it's working.
As for the person who said they have a drinking problem and need to abstain, the authur makes no qualms about the fact the book isn't suppossed to address these kind of problems. It is only to help you to drink as healthy as you can, if you choose to drink.
i'm glad I bought this book.

Summary: 15 down, 30 to go
Review: I was fat, sick, and disgusted with myself. I did not know how to lose the weight that was hanging off of me. People told me to get rid of my "Beer belly", but now I know that was not what it was. The most important line in this book was when the author said if you are fat you need to identify the source of unhappiness in your life. I have done that and the fat has been falling off me ever since. The author should have chosen a more politically correct title and his sales would have been ten fold. I have personally taken it upon myself to spread the word of this man to friends, co-workers, and even a few strangers. It works!

Summary: Never drink on an empty stomach and other myths
Review: No, we aren't talking fairy tales. This is more a situation where someone a long time ago said something was true and its been repeated for so long that everyone believes it. Beyerlein explodes a few of these old wives tales along the way. Helpful charts tell you how long to wait after eating to begin drinking, what foods are okay to eat while drinking, what are liver killers and other helpful information. This book is intended to be a guide for drinkers. It isn't intended to help people who don't drink or want to quit, although some of the information on supplements would be good info for anyone. Loompanics has a real wide variety of books that they publish. Check out their site or call 8003802230.

Summary: How to have your booze and keep your health
Review: Over 100 million men, women, and children participate in the number one recreational activity in the United States. About 18 million become so nutrient deficient that they eventually require medical attention, and die at a rate of 100,000 per year. All participants develop health problems ranging from increased susceptibility to colds and flu to life threatening liver damage. Between these extremes are the dreaded hangover, alcohol induced premature aging, free radical damage, anemia, pancreatitis, neurological disorders, and other debilitating conditions. The recreational activity is alcohol consumption and until now it was a losing proposition. Worldwide hundreds of millions of people choose to drink and now they can get more mileage out of their drinking. Everything from the hangover to life threatening liver disease is preventable by using the correct vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants, herbs, and lipotropics. I define the above nutrients as life-force nutrients since their presence protects the liver and other tissues from alcohol damage, and their absence or insufficient presence threatens the drinkers health and quality of life. Overall, the need for an intelligent person's guide to healthy drinking is clear. In this book I present alcohol metabolism and the role of nutrition in an easy to understand manner, while relying on peer review medical research to substantiate the medical fact that you can drink healthier. Moreover, as a Registered Dietitian, Certified Nutrition Support Dietitian, and educator, I have positively influenced the health of thousands of drinkers by encouraging the use of certain nutrients at specified times before, during, and after drinking. Science has long provided us with the nutritional answers to the health problems inflicted by alcohol. However, vocal anti-drinking groups censor this helpful information in a futile attempt to discourage drinking even though from a societal standpoint it is far less costly to have informed drinkers rather than the uninformed. No matter how much or how little you drink, your health will benefit from my approach to drinking. This is not to be interpreted as meaning protection against or a cure for alcoholism. It's simply a strategy to minimize the adverse effects that alcohol inflicts on each cell in your body. By drinking healthier the body can win the internal war of alcohol metabolism. A normal diet that includes the four food groups is simply not enough firepower. This book will teach you: Which nutrients to take and when to take them based on your level of consumption; how to lose a beer belly without missing a single frosty sip; which foods to eat and avoid before, during, and after drinking for best results; how to cleanse and heal your liver with herbs, antioxidants, and lipotropics; how to prevent free radical damage, premature aging, and hangovers; how alcohol helps protect against heart attack and stroke; how to help a loved one drink healthier; and how to fortify your booze:recipes. These easy to understand and extremely useful strategies will appeal to executives, college students, weekend drinkers, practicing alcoholics, counselors, anyone who drinks, and anyone who wants to keep their drinker (loved ones) healthy in the midst of plenty. The 21st century is upon us and it's high time everyone who drinks becomes an educated 21st century drinker.

Summary: Never drink on an empty stomach and other myths
Review: The most informative book you can own if you drink. I drink often, so sometimes I over drink, the "life-force nutrients" (available at drugstores or health food stores) mentioned in this book can help you protect your health. This is not a book for those who need to stop drinking. If you are able to continue to drink, but still occasionally over-drink, this book can help your `day-afters'! I tell all my friends about this book. I enjoy wine, sometimes a little, sometime a lot, either way, I no longer loose a day because I had too much to drink the night before.
