When Jim Matthews speaks about alcohol and its use and abuse in our society, we should all listen. This is not a 'how to drink' book. Rather, this book provides low-risk drinking techniques for students who live in the collegiate culture. While Jim affirms the state law and a student's right not to drink, he offers tips for those who do choose to drink in an informative, research based, non-judgmental way. Each of my four children will have a copy of this book, and while I trust each of them, I WILL NOT wait until they are 21 years old to give it to them. Thank you Jim for this important work.
