Book Description

Rethinking Drinking and Sport examines the complex nature of sport-related drinking. With close attention to the contradictory nature of sport-related drinking, this book considers both 'the problem' of drinking in sport, as well as some of the issues for treatment and recovery that sports-related drinking presents. Bringing together a range of methodological and theoretical debates that address the relationships between alcohol and sport, Rethinking Drinking and Sport draws on rich new interview material with fans and both drinking and non-drinking sportsmen and women, as well as documentary and media sources. Based on research across a variety of sports in the UK and Australia, Rethinking Drinking and Sport explores not only the relationship between alcohol, fans, participants and industry, but also questions of gender and identity to provide fresh insights into the complex relationships between drinking and sport. Examining possible directions for health and public policy in relation to sport-related drinking, this book will appeal to social scientists and policy makers with interests in consumption, leisure, sport, drinking, and health.

Book Description

Rethinking Drinking is a story about our common awareness about alcohol-both conscious and subconscious. It's also a story about the super-genius of alcohol marketing. Starting with the author's own experiences, it moves along sort of a dot-connecting continuum of increasingly honest awareness about the effect alcohol has on all of us, and finally arrives at the reason we're all under the influence of it. Lastly, the author shares how he explained it all to his teenage son. There are far too many alcohol messes that we can avoid with a little more awareness and conversation about its slick marketing and slippery effects. With illustrations, common quotes, and condensed chapters, this book is fun and easy for everyone to read and talk about.
