Help Them Beat the Booze specifically aims to help the friends, families, loved ones and work colleagues of problem drinkers in order to help both the drinker and themselves to recover.

It provides all the information the authors could usefully find from interviewing alcohol experts worldwide, extensive published research and drawing on their own personal experiences and those of the many case studies that they write up in the book. It should be of immense help to anyone who knows a problem drinker, regardless of where they live in the world.

It seeks to explain many messages already in the public domain in a readily accessible and engaging manner as well as detailing revolutionary new treatments that most who know problem drinkers will not have previously come across.

Due attention is paid to how those who know problem drinkers can look after their own health, and secure their own happiness, as well as safeguard the well-being of any children of problem drinkers.
