Alcohol, the study of a current problem

This little manual about alcohol was written in 1953 for California teachers, and is surprisingly thorough and well researched for its time. Far from being a rant against alcohol, it begins with a history of alcohol and its use throughout the ages. The next chapter is a scholarly description of how alcohol is made, its components, what happens physiologically to each of the major organs of the body, and how alcohol affects humans in the long term. The final chapter presents the teacher with ideas for instruction and where to locate resource material.
