“This book goes a long way to filling that gap and I will be adding this text as essential reading for my students. I recommend it to the readers of Drugs: Education, Prevention and Policy.” (Drugs: education, prevention and policy, 1 December 2014)“The book skilfully and succinctly summarises current knowledge about substance misuse, along with thought-provoking perspectives on the wider issues related to an individual’s use and the impact it has on themselves and society. In doing so, it provides a valuable snapshot view of topics, which students and professionals might further explore.” (DrugLink, 1 March 2014) "The essays address such diverse topics as drug criminalization law, alcohol policy, screening for alcohol disorders, and various aproaches to addiction treatment. While the essays are not tightly interrelated, they provide a broad view of current trends in drug use research that may particularly help researchers in the US to keep abreast of developments in other parts of the world." (Journal of Psychoactive Drugs, May 2014)
