4 books42 followersHi! I'm Jason from London UK. I write self help books based on my own experiences of dealing with problems. I've had my fair share of personal challenges so I decided to write about them and share my wisdom and try to help others.
My first book was about how you can cut down how much you drink alcohol so that you can enjoy a drink rather than depending on it. I've had so much positive feedback for that book that I decided to write more.

*Thanks to the author for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review.*
Alcohol isn't very common in my country and my religion doesn't permit it at all. The only reason I accepted this book was to know more about it from a perspective which is more familiar with this particular issue.
And I don't mind saying that I really enjoyed reading this! It was such a well-researched book! The language was so simple yet engaging. I must say if anyone is looking to learn more about alcoholism or its effects or anything related to it, this might be quite helpful to him/her. And this book has got some amazing quotes!!
All in all nothing too complicated. Just a lots of facts gathered together. It was quite enjoyable for me.

Jason Newman's How To Control Your Alcohol Consumption: Learn to drink responsibly so that you can enjoy a drink rather than depend on it is a well-written treatise on alcohol consumption with an impressive bibliography. However, it's evident that the author doesn't have much personal experience with his subject. The book confuses terms like heavy drinker, addict and alcoholic. For the first class of drinker, the book may provide many helpful tips for reducing alcohol consumption. However, the author seems not to realize that those in the last two classes (which are really equivalent) are people who have lost the power of choice over their drinking. The only choice for such as these is to get professional help with a goal of complete abstinence. This point is never strongly stated and constitutes a major flaw in the book. Many an alcoholic has died vainly trying to retain control instead of working to quit drinking.

Before now, I thought alcohol consumption affected only the liver. I never knew it affected a man or woman's mental health.
Though I am still trying to get a category for my alcohol consumption- I don't take it frequently. I think once or twice in a month.
I'd recommend this book. It reveals the overall effects of excessive alcohol consumption as well as therapy that will help reduce alcohol consumption.
Excerpt from book:
You can buy smaller amounts of alcohol to regulate how much you can drink. Switching
to a light beer or similar lighter form of alcohol can also change the number of total
calories you are ingesting...

Informative guide
The books talks about the different type of alcoholics, the reason for drinking and what alcohol does to the body of the drinker. The author has relied on statistics to show how the various types of drinkers have problems and how to solve the problem. The book also touches upon how drinks lead to domestic violence and the help available to people who wish to quit. Short, crisp read.

Remember that quote that goes something like: “After you read a book, you will not see the world the say way again” ? Yeah… this is one of those books, a total mind-opener!
Most of us have seen, witnessed, the damage that a drunk or alcoholic person can do, both to itself, be it in a moment, over the years, physically and mentally and to others, and all of us have in way or the other heard the gruesome stories, from close friends, relatives of the damage that a drunk can make to its closest relatives.
Alcohol is one of the most dangerous, addictive substances in nature, but unlike other drugs, it’s not as regulated, and worse, the level of education related to drinks is almost negligible, so, coming across and a book that teaches people how to drink without overdoing it and becoming dependent of this type of drug is a very good thing, and much needed, both for heavy drinkers, drunks, and people that are starting to drink or are worried that they are becoming dependent of it, and knowing that the author himself was a heavy drinker, adds many points to this book.
Right off the bat we are faced with facts, presented in a solid, well-researched manner in a well organized book, that makes it easy to read. Loved the Seneca quote in the begining as he is yes, one of the most accurate philosophers that ever lived and a great stoic, the choice of words and the theme shows that the writer is serious about self-control, as stoics are. Very nice.
The writer does present the facts, to engage the target reader right away and force it into thinking long and hard about drinking and its consequences by showing the disastrous effects, both economical and personal, in their lives and in society, but also at the same time giving incentives to the target reader to be honest about the topic and letting know that people will be supportive about it, help and understand them, something that is crucial.
A VERY cool thing about this excellently researched little book is that the author lets us know facts that we thought we knew about alcohol and drinks, such as the measurements of a drink as per alcohol percentage, and how these little hidden facts completely change the dynamics of the talk around alcohol consumption.
Did you know that you can spend more than 1K USD buy buying really cheap bear within a year? Cheap beer! Imagine standard quality beer. Facts like these are all over this book, which makes it even more interesting if you are like me that has some heavy drinking friends.
“Alcoholism is a slow progression, a steady increase that few people deliberately plan, and it can grow out of control in apparently no time at all.”
Jason Newman
What I love about this book is that the author CLEARLY understands, and doesn’t judge in any moment, the target readers, because he was admittedly one, so the book has a conversational, ‘chilled, informative vibe to it, and it proposes cutting back on drinking instead of quitting outright, and this is essential to have in mind when it comes to people that have been heavily dependent in alcohol for years.
“To everyone trying to cut back their alcohol intake, take it one day at a time and forgive yourself for any setbacks. You can do this.”
Jason Newman
The author explains the short-term side-effects of drinking –yes, alcohol has short-term side effects too, and very dangerous ones it seems- with exemplary casual factualness, in a way that is super easy to understand, and goes into enough detail on each in order to show the dangers, while also explaining the differences of the “feelings”, and “perceptions” alcohol gives and the truth about them, that they are not permanent things.
“Using alcohol to mask stressors or pain is only effective in the moment and not sustainable over the long term. Eventually, as alcohol tolerance rises, a person will need to drink more to get the same effect. This is why so many who have been abused wind up turning to alcohol to forget their problems. This vicious cycle only leads to more alcohol abuse.”
Jason Newman
Why is this important? This is important, because, many people drink in order to get those “feelings” and “abilities” that alcohol gives, and that’s how many people get addicted to alcohol, specially youngsters, so thank you, Jason Newman for this little detail.
Another thing that relates to this tactic is the way the author makes distinctions between the socially “acceptable” behaviours when it comes to drinking and how they can hinder the progress of cutting back on drinking and how they can be dangerous as well. Another great point in favour of the book is how the author explains how the social gatherings and their interactions influence and help gain, maintain and exacerbate the drinking habits, either through frequency or peer-pressure and how that can lead to less than desired circumstances such as rape, it’s a fascinating angle indeed. This is very well researched.
This book is EXTREMELY WELL streamlined! You are in one topic, which is told in a very simple way, – but always factual and with enough seriousness to keep you grounded – , and then you are reading another chapter without even realizing! Each topic is discussed in one, two, three paragraphs, five at most, which is very cool and facilitates reading, sending the message across flying into the reader. NICE! We are talking about complex metabolic pathways being discussed in less than a paragraph and STILL being scientifically accurate!
Did you know that alcohol consumption is strongly related not only to diabetes, heart problems but to cancers of several forms, including cancers of the mouth and throat?
Did you know that there are categories of Alcoholics? Levels of alcoholism and their symptoms? I didn’t! Until I read this book, and this is something very important, because with this information in mind, those that do not drink and know someone that does, can intervene much earlier, with solid information on what to do and with a framework of understanding and support that can be the difference between full recovery and death or severe injure.
This book is a must-read. Excellent info in here.
The author spreads love and support in every word and invites the target reader to consider the possibilities of a better health, of a better life in a non-judgmental, caring and understanding way, and this is how a self-help book should be written, and written by people that have been through it and recovered. It’s very nice, very, very nice.
This is an EXCELLENT book. Everyone in society should read it, and here’s why we say this: Those that don’t drink will stop cold turkey on the possibility, or be prepared to face alcohol responsibly, be armed with the tools to identify, help, support and understand alcoholics; alcoholics, or people that are starting to have drinking problems can more easily address the issue and seek support if needed, and last, the heavy drinkers can both help themselves and/or seek help from the people they trust and love while finding hope and a reason to stop drinking. This book is a total recommendation! A fast, factual, entertaining, educational read for everyone, including teenagers. Top stuff right here.
Pros:
EXCELLENTLY researched book
The facts, both statistical and scientific are seemlessly blended with the casual narrative in a way that is VERY easy to read
A fast read. This book has less than 70pages
SUPER supportive and loving narrative without any sort of judgment, but filled with understanding and care
VERY cool facts and trivia on the book
LOTS of hard-to-get info that will blast you away
The topics are addressed in a swift, effective, smooth manner that you get loads of info in very little time and yet don’t feel overwhelmed, but even more curious
Lots of methods and suggestions in order to cut back on the drinking, and even be more social without drinking
Cons:
– Ok, this one is a minor, but I have to point it out as a con: The author should have said that the Pancreas is the largest inner organ that we have in the body, because the largest organ is the skin.
Cover score: 8.7/10

I'm not an alcoholic, but I'm married to one who, though sober for 15 years now, is still an addict. As a spouse to an addict, reading this book helped shed light on more than just the 'why I drink' angle. Going in, I thought this was going to be a sort of memoir-type read, but was pleasantly surprised that it opens with quite a bit of scientific data surrounding how alcohol affects a person on different levels, from how it lowers your inhibitions to how it affects REM sleep. The author then takes the reader through how alcohol is broken down in the body and how the different organs work to process it. While I comprehend that the author is writing from the perspective of an addict, he does present a lot of professional, quality research and even mentions studies done, as in the section on 'Alcohol and the Home'. Nearer to the end of the book in the section 'Resources everywhere', the author mentions one-on-one session, AA, and therapy and other methods to aid in addiction recovery. It was an extremely well-written, researched, and assistive book. Here's why the 4 stars instead of 5. First, the author does cite the sources he used at the back of the book, but I didn't see where those sources correlated with the text, so I don't know which information was used from each source. Footer notes would aid in this, and second, while the author does a brilliant job in walking the alcoholic through recovery, I don't recall reading what help could be given the family members of the addict. The author states that family and friend support is critical to a recovering alcoholic, but, again, what about the help for those family and friends who've suffered as a result of the alcoholism. If the author mentions this and I missed it, I apologize. Otherwise, this really was a well-written, informative read that can help both addicts and their families. I learned quite a bit.

**Audiobook Review**
This book has lots of wisdom on how to manage situations, boundaries, suggestions to change behaviour to help cut back drinking, and some compelling reasons why.
I'm not a drinker (have never liked the taste of alcohol much and medication prevents me from drinking more recently) BUT I could easily replace cutting back drinking to cutting back sugar/soft drinks/unhealthy food and still find this book helpful for managing situations and boundaries and how to communicate to others what I need to live a healthier life.
So, if you are curious about your relationship with alcohol this is a good place to start, and if you're a friend or relative of someone who is struggling, this is a great book to understand more and how to be supportive.
In addition, as I listened on Audible, the narrator is clear and easy to understand and for me personally I turned up the pace on the listening speed to 1.20 and it was just right. Thank you.

Jason Newman gives us an interesting guide towards breaking alcoholism with How to Control Your Alcohol Consumption! What I found fascinating about this guide was that it wasn’t about quitting drinking, but instead about limiting drinking and mitigating its effects. I found it to be an interesting step towards ending alcohol addiction if a person chooses. This guide takes an honest look at the effects of alcohol as well, both positive and negative, and provides avenues to continue drinking in a limited capacity if someone chooses. Ultimately, that’s what this guide is about: providing someone choice. I don’t drink personally, but I found this guide to be easy to read, informative, and an interesting insight! If you’re looking to limit your drinking, then definitely check it out!

The subject of alcohol abuse is a touchy one, as there's debate over the terms associated with excessive drinking, the treatments, and the concept of abstinence versus moderated drinking. Whether or not you agree with the author's perspective, he's upfront about this book serving as a means of curtailing drinking, not stopping it. The book opens with facts about alcohol abuse in today's society and a scientific breakdown of what alcohol does to the body. Some information is provided for those struggling with true addiction, but the author's main goal is providing guidance to those who overdrink in social situations, it seems. If this is what you're looking for, and if you're curious about just how healthy drinking is (it isn't), then it might work for you.
December 23, 2021
This book is well-researched and written. Disclaimer: this book will not help someone who already has an alcohol addiction and needs treatment; the author is not a certified counselor or medical expert. However, this book is key for educating the general populace and preventing alcohol addictions and accidents before they happen. I learned a lot that I didn't know about alcohol. This book inspires me to be more mindful of my alcohol consumption. The book is filled with statistics and facts to back up the author's argument. This book should be on the curriculum for Health Classes in high schools (where unsuspecting children whose brains are not fully developed start drinking).

A useful book to have!
‘How To Control Your Alcohol Consumption’ is an interesting, short informative read.
The author has taken his time to research medical guidance and the dangers of heavy drinking, be that binge drinking or frequent use of alcohol, giving you insight into the damage it can have on your health and lifestyle.
Even though I am not a big drinker, I am aware of the medical issues and toll overindulgence of alcohol can have on the body.
I did find this book to be filled with lots of useful information and tips for those of you who are wishing to cut down on your alcohol intake.

This was a book provided by ACX in exchange for a truthful rate and review --- I'm no expert and not a doctor, just someone who loves books. I believe the author of this book did a good job with providing statistics and giving examples and suggestions on this topic. He paints a good picture of the financial, health and life problems drinking can cause. I think this book can be an eye-opener for person who truly is looking to reduce or even quit drinking. I especially like how he wrapped up the book in the final chapter and the conclusion. Very well written Jason Newman.

This book gets to the nitty gritty of drinking alcohol. Whether abusing or just being a social drinker, there are so many consequences to drinking. It doesn’t just affect your health but people around you.
I am not a huge drinker but I have seen people ruin their lives with addiction, I think this books sheds some light on the potential risks and the influence of people and things around you.
I suggest this book to anyone who would like to cut back on drinking or quit completely and anyone who is looking for more information for a loved one who is struggling.

How To Control Your Addiction To Alcohol. By Jason Newman.
You don’t have to have a drink problem to enjoy this book. I listened to the Audible version and found it most informative. I found the science behind the writing to be well researched and well thought out.
You might find it useful if someone you know is having problems. Although the book is primarily about alcohol, it does touch on all sorts of addiction and addictive personality. I would definitely recommend it for people with a genuine interest in the subject.

Interesting and informative book on how to cut down on your alcohol consumption. It ideals with the damage excessive drinking can cause, and how to avoid the triggers that can make us drink more than we should.
Cutting back, even a little, can have a lot of benefits. You save money, lose weight and feel better.
Newman's book is more geared towards the heavy drinker rather than someone who is an alcoholic as this is a much more serious problem that requires professional medical care rather than just the person setting his or her own goals. As such, it should be read with this in mind.

Informative and honest - A book which explores the causes and effect of alcohol on ones body and realistic informed ways to cut back. I learnt many things I was not aware of such as that reducing alcohol can result in low blood sugar - so sugar replacement could help you stay on track in the interim - Also has great quotes which are relatable and help frame the overall message in a personal way.

This book is well researched and provides good insight about the current drinking social culture and how easily it is to slip into drinking more than you should. It highlights the types of drinking behaviours and goes in detail about the effects of alcohol in our bodies. It details how to control the drinking behaviour and also how to get support. A good book for people that need support in reducing their alcohol intake.
December 1, 2021
A wonderful read on how to control alcohol consumption, had some battles with it in the past, this has certainly added to my knowledge on how to keep doing better with my control and oneday i would gain mastery. If you've faced the same problem you are not alone.
December 23, 2021
This is a really interesting book to know more about alcohol abuse. The author gives a huge amount of datas and info that most of the people know nothing about. It’s impressive how much alcohol can be consumed if you have no control on it. A good read and good suggestions for a self help book
December 30, 2022
Good theory of how to control or even quit drinking and deal with all the problems it comes with it.
However, I thinks it easier said than done.
Good luck to everyone who's battling with an addiction.

And exceptionally well written book! Eye opener! Highly recommend reading for yourself or even if you're dealing with someone else.

This book is so informative, clearly well researched with tips, helpful hints and an abundance of websites to help you reduce or stop your intake of alcohol.
The stark and blunt stats and facts relating to health and wellbeing certainly make you sit up and listen.... and think, even if you don't have a problem!
It's not all about quitting but reduction which is a proven way to help get to that acceptable level of achievement. It has to be your decision, your goal, your effort, but with support. There are so many facts crammed into this book surrounding consumption of alcohol and behaviours thereafter, that not only affect you but your family and friends, it certainly makes you think about your past, current and future drinking habits. Very interesting read.

It's not all about quitting but reduction which is a proven way to help get to that acceptable level of achievement. It has to be your decision, your goal, your effort, but with support. There are so many facts crammed into this book surrounding consumption of alcohol and behaviours thereafter, that not only affect you but your family and friends, it certainly makes you think about your past, current and future drinking habits. Very interesting read.

This was a well developed read! I know a few
People who are struggling and using alcohol as a help for them but it does not help them at all. Some can control it but some cannot take it and over drinks it. People always need ways to control urges of any kind. It was well researched and easy to understand! If someone has an alcohol problem getting help is the only way.
