HOBSON'S CHOICE: A Story of Love, Alcohol and Capacity

This could be the story of any man, his life driven and guided for half a century by his overwhelming desire for alcohol. This book relates a candid and informative account of an alcoholic's life and where it leads. It also offers suggestions of reasons for alcoholism, the effects that alcohol has upon the brain, an examination of the law relating to mental capacity and an ultimately heartfelt plea to anyone instrumental in changing the lives for such unfortunate individuals, to examine more closely the research available. Research from 1881 seems to have been overlooked; yet it is as relevant today as it was then. The reader is invited to question their own position in relation to their views of those who are battling this debilitating addiction. The contents seek to provide a thought-provoking and perspective shifting read.
