Alcol e giovani. Riflettere prima dell’uso. E-book. Formato PDF Franca Beccaria   -  Giunti, 2019  - 

Questo libro è nato dall’esigenza di fare chiarezza su un tema, il rapporto tra giovani e bevande alcoliche, troppo spesso affrontato con approssimazione, indulgendo a luoghi comuni e a facili argomentazioni che analizzano il problema in superficie senza cercarne le vere cause. Il verificarsi di comportamenti di abuso è sempre più frequentemente oggetto di campagne di allarme sociale, alla stregua di un’epidemia da contrastare con rapidità, e da questi atteggiamenti derivano iniziative estemporanee che non si sforzano di interpretare il fenomeno su cui agire, né tengono conto della reale efficacia di provvedimenti e politiche. Il libro non pretende di sciogliere nodi gordiani, ma vuole essere uno strumento utile alla comprensione del composito rapporto tra alcol e giovani e si rivolge a coloro che, genitori e insegnanti, possono aiutare i ragazzi nella loro crescita. Non vuole fornire un quadro esaustivo sull’argomento, quanto piuttosto tracciare un percorso in questo universo complesso che rappresenti in sintesi la situazione italiana – con riferimento a studi specifici di diverso orientamento scientifico – al fine di dare gli elementi necessari a capire meglio il problema e individuare possibili risposte. Sarà l’occasione per saperne di più su una sostanza da “maneggiare con cura”, fonte di gioie e sofferenze, senza per questo demonizzare il rapporto che i giovani instaurano con essa.

Alcohol no more. E-book. Formato PDF Ouvrage Collectif   -  Ouvrage Collectif, 2017  - 

Do you love a drink from time to time? A lot of us do, often when socializing with acquaintances and loved ones. Drinking may be beneficial or harmful, depending upon your age and health status, and, naturally, how much you drink. Alcohol addiction is something that can't be formed in simple terms. Alcohol addiction in general refers to the condition that is an obsession to continue drinking even if it harms health. Alcoholism means you don’t have any control over intake despite being well aware of the damaging consequences. An alcoholic individual drinks even if he happens to get into alcohol related troubles like drunk driving, losing his job, etcetera. Not everyone who takes in alcohol is an alcoholic. An individual who takes in alcohol in controlled quantities and is able to say no when he doesn't want to drink isn't termed alcohol-dependent. He or she is simply a social drinker. For anybody who drinks, this book offers valuable, research-based info. What do you think of taking a look at your drinking habits and how they might affect your health? This can help you get started.
