'There is no such thing as an alcoholic and there is no such disease as alcoholism! (as Society understands it).'

Whether or not you agree with this statement, one thing is for certain, you will never see alcoholism in the same light ever again after reading this book. Jason Vale takes an honest and hard hitting look at people's conceptions of our most widely consumed drug. His major argument is there is no such thing as an alcoholic and that we have been conditioned to accept alcohol as a 'normal substance in today's Society despite the fact that it is the major cause of many of today s social problems and a wide range of health issues.

This book is much more than a simple eye opener, it will: change the way you see alcohol forever show you how to stop drinking help you enjoy your life so much more than you do now without having to drink alcohol So open your mind and take a journey with Jason to explore the myths about the most used and accepted drug addiction in the world!

This Book is Life Changing

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2023

I have read so many quit lit books and some are bad and some good but this book did the trick. It is no nonsense and did something in me that no other book did. It made me quit drinking! I am free! I was a binge drinker and am 66 years old, so no light weight! I have tried for years and years and nothing worked. Somehow this book did! I can't recommend it enough. I have given it to a friend who has been trying desperately, like me, to quit. He is starting it today and I hope it does the same for him. THANK YOU JASON, you have saved someone else, like you said you wanted to do!.

A Different Point of View

Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2019

Verified Purchase

Of the many books advising how to quit drinking, most address the enormous and tragic societal costs of alcohol consumption, and its negative impact on individual health, and just how much nicer life would be without drinking. Thats all well and good, but the information is probably already known to the reader, and might lead to a temporary moderation or cessation of drinking. Another class of books treats alcohol addiction as a disease, or disorder, or syndrome, or chronic condition; this viewpoint has spawned an entire industry of therapists who will take your money to help you manage what the therapist and "recovering alcoholic" must mutually accept as an incurable, innate, genetic imbalance that can be managed, but never cured. "Kick the Drink...Easily" could probably have gone by a different name; "Break the Alcohol Trap...Easily" might be more accurate. In easy to follow prose, the author points out the sheer simplicity of the situation, takes your blinders off, and just as simply, helps debunk so many of the myths about alcohol, even those blindly accepted by other, similar books. "Its not you, its the drug stupid" could be another title for this book. The section on passive drinkers (those who don't imbibe but are in the zone of the drinker) and its collateral damage, much like passive smoking and its well-known health risks is very well written and a powerful reminder of the damage radius of alcohol consumption. For those looking for assistance, help, therapy, and ready to accept the victimhood status of helplessness before a powerful instinct or habit, this is not the right book. For the relatively aggressive, type-A, take charge, decisive type of personality, this book will show you the utter and sheer absurdity of drinking alcohol, so that the only solution is to...well, stop! Surprise, but it actually works. Money well spent on this book from my view, at the least, this is a very different, practical, and actionable approach. If you want to stop drinking, and stay that way forever, without the assumptions and demons that lead to psychological dependence and cravings, buy and read this book. Keep an open mind and you will see how cleverly the alcohol trap is set, by colluding forces in industry, government, society, peers, but ultimately by the drug itself, and how the drug works to keep you hooked on it.

A true life-changing book

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2023

Verified Purchase

Twenty pages in, I thought: This guy is making a lot of questionable statements. Fifty pages in, I thought: This guy is talking about ME. In fact, Jason Vale knew more about me than I knew about myself. By the end of the book:

1. I understood more about alcohol than I ever thought there was to know.
2. I could connect the dots between my behavior and alcohol - a true revelation.
3. Most important, I was motivated to take action.

Mr. Vale's style is blunt, funny, inspiring, and crystal clear. Everything he has to say about life with alcohol and life without alcohol is 100% accurate for me and the drinkers I know - but I never really stopped to think about it. It's pretty amazing.

Also, don't be put off by the repetition. It's intentional, designed to make the ideas sink in and undo all the social conditioning and misconceptions about alcohol we've all been immersed in since forever.

Thank you, Mr. Vale, for writing this book.

Worth reading

I bought this book after participating in Jason's "World's Biggest Juice Detox" in Jan 2013. I really liked his enthusiasm for juicing and health. After doing the detox I felt amazing and really the wanted to stay off booze and for that feeling to last. Additionally, I had been thinking of cutting down (at least) on booze for a while, and then I came across this book!

I found the first 2 chapters not that interesting, but after that, the book gets going. I was hooked and read it in a day. It really opened my eyes to how society views and accepts alcohol compared to other drug addictions, including smoking. I had never really thought of alcohol as a drug before, but once you do, it is easy to see how the majority of the population become addicted to it, and why it is so difficult to give up give societal pressures TO drink. I can also see why Jason argues you can't simply "cut down" since that is not how drug addictions work. Before buying this book, I read all the reviews and now I feel like some people who gave it a poor rating have missed these points. But each to their own...

Jason's arguments really resonated with me and I have not drunk any alcohol for a month. Interestingly, I have not even wanted to drink it. I don't miss it, and at this point in time, I don't know why I would start it up again. I have re-read certain chapters this week, and it has just reinforced my decision. I also feel really good all the time, and have much more mental clarity.

Like most reviewers, I think this book is worth the money (especially the kindle price, which is more or less the price of drink in a pub). I really liked that Jason writes examples from his own personal experience with alcohol. It was reassuring to know that he has been there, he knows what he is talking about, and he has got past his addiction using the strategies he provides.

My major criticism is Jason repeats certain things over and over throughout the book, which I found unnecessary after reading it them first two times. And as I said up front, the first two chapters weren't that interesting to me, so I'm taking a point off for these things.

I couldn’t put it down. Now I feel it’s never been clearer to me how alcohol works and I’m looking forward to putting my knowledge and realisation into practice. Many thanks to Jason Vale for writing such a valuable book. I’m surprised it’s not more popular than it is.

Revelationary, Revolutionary, and Life Changing.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 4, 2015

I do believe this will have proved the single most important read of my life.

It is very much based on the original Allen Carr method for stopping smoking. Allen Carr indeed wrote an extremely similar book to this – The Easy Way to Control Alcohol. I first read it several years ago with the intent of cutting down. It soon became apparent that like The Easy Way to Stop Smoking, this book was not so much about controlling alcohol but about quitting – full stop. Whilst the book sang obvious truths and common sense about the alcohol trap, I for one was far too scared to lose alcohol out of my life for good (Holidays, parties, occasions, nights out, Christmasses, weekends, nights in – all with NO alcohol?!). So, I cut down instead. For a while. It wasn’t too long before I was back on two bottles of wine a night – and that was just at home. The occasional night off or few – whilst feeling like big achievements, were actually hard work.

But – at least the seeds had been sown. For the past few years in the back of my mind, I’ve known I’ve been in this trap, but have just kept making the same excuses, scared of losing my whole lifestyle.

Eventually, during a lower point, I happened across Jason’s book. This was about a year ago. It too very much emulates the Allen Carr approach, perhaps written even more simply and effectively. It all rang so true. Yet, whilst I felt closer to attempting to jump that huge and final ‘STOP’ hurdle, I still never did. I lapped up the content, agreeing and empathising, yet carried on drinking, albeit a little less again.

I’ve just read it again. I’m about 75% through this time but I BELIEVE this time I am ready. Finally I am convinced I have now actually jumped that seemingly impossible hurdle having had my last drink a few days ago. Ok it’s very early days, but this time, I’m not cutting down, I’m not having a month off via willpower, my mindset really has changed. I actually feel FREE! Already! I really do. I am looking forward to a fireworks party and booze up (friends of course – not me) at the weekend and Christmas dos are already weighing heavy in the diary, but I am actually looking FORWARD to these, not having to drink. In fact I can feel this is going to be the awakening of a whole new world and new life for me – not having to plan my life around alcohol.

One thing I’m really looking forward too, oddly, is a long haul Christmas holiday 18 hour flight where I won’t be planning my lounge and on-board hours around champagne intake, but instead will be able to relax, recline, sleep, read, enjoy a film or two, and wake up refreshed from the flight with my ‘clean’ holiday ahead. I might even remember landing. What a novelty!

I believe already this has been a life saver for me in so many ways. I hope to come back in a few months perhaps and provide an update so do watch this space.

It’s just a shame I still have a cellar of about 100 wines. But you know what? – who cares.

And Jason - I am truly indebted.
