Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Binge drinking in Ireland, particularly among adolescents, has become an issue of major concern in recent years. This edited volume examines the relationship between binge drinking and the factors that impact on it, in particular certain aspects of youth culture. This book will be of interest to anyone concerned with alcohol consumption more broadly, especially those who wish to place the debate in a broader social context.
