Comment l'alcool détruit la jeunesse : La responsabilité des lobbys et des politiques (French Edition)

How Alcohol Destroys Youth is a powerful work that highlights the dangers of alcohol among young people. Amine Benyamina, a recognized expert in addictology, and Marie-Pierre Samitier, a committed journalist, offer us an uncompromising analysis of current practices, notably binge drinking, the phenomenon where young people consume large quantities of alcohol in a short period.

Alcohol is now the main drug among young people. This extreme mode of consumption is not without consequence: the damage to the brain is irreversible, and these repeated benders significantly increase the risks of long-term alcoholism.

In light of this alarming finding, the authors denounce the culture of trivialization surrounding alcohol consumption. The industry lobbies play a crucial role in making alcohol even more attractive despite its devastating effects. On their side, policies seem to favor private interests over public health, ignoring the exorbitant costs associated with alcohol damage.

Professor Amine Benyamina sounds the alarm. Through recent studies and overwhelming scientific data, he deciphers the psychological and social mechanisms that drive young people towards this dangerous consumption. Marie-Pierre Samitier complements this analysis by providing a critical journalistic perspective on the involvement of lobbies and policies.

This book is not just a call to alarm; it is also a call to action. The authors emphasize the urgency of a strong and coherent political response to curb this scourge and protect future generations. They propose concrete measures to limit the influence of lobbies and raise awareness among the population, especially young people, about the dangers of alcohol.

How Alcohol Destroys Youth is an essential book for understanding the magnitude of this public health problem and for acting before it is too late. Its reading is indispensable for parents, educators, health professionals, and all those concerned about the future of our society.
