Alcohol Addiction, Volume Three in the Neurobiology of Addiction series, provides a current survey and synthesis of the most important findings in our understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms of addiction. Sections differentiate alcohol use, alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction, providing a clear path on how alcohol abuse can develop into an addiction. This volume includes thorough descriptions of the physiological and behavioral effects of alcohol abuse and addiction. In addition, the book clearly defines the neurobiological effects of alcohol into three distinct steps: Binge/Intoxication Stage, Withdrawal/Negative Affect Stage, and last the Preoccupation/Anticipation Stage.
