Addiction expert John Marsden, who likes a drink, makes a professional and personal exploration of our relationship with alcohol. He undergoes physical and neurological examinations to determine its impact, and finds out why some people will find it much harder than others to resist alcohol. Even at the age of 14 there may be a way of determining which healthy children will turn into addicts.
"Why does tolerance for alcohol differ so widely from person to person? Do genetic factors make alcoholism unavoidable in some people? Should we drink at all? This program searches for answers, following addiction expert Dr. John Marsden as he observes--and participates in--experiments that assess alcohol's neurological and physiological impact. After exploring basic chemical and evolutionary concepts, Marsden visits London's Institute of Psychiatry, where brain scans, genetic testing, and psychological profiling shed light on alcohol addiction. In the U.S., Marsden goes inside the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism to study other genetic markers, while moving toward a greater understanding of alcoholism in his own family history."--Container.
This might seem strange because many of us drink, sometimes more than we probably should but in this film we get a true sense of what being addicted to alcohol really means. One of the main subjects of the film is Joe, who has turned 32-years-old, the scenes he features in have the power to reduce the viewer to tears, especially when he was shown walking out of hospital covered in blood, to buy vodka after being told his continued alcoholism would kill him. This is the face of true addiction, just one more drink no matter the cost.
Whoever makes a documentary, writes a book, makes a film, etc etc about any subject where people are in pain will no doubt be compensated for their efforts, usually in the form of money. How else would we get any true insight into the world of these people other than becoming one ourselves?
Alcoholics Anonymous is the longest-running addiction programme in the world and has been operating in the UK for 75 years. At a time when problem drinking is on the rise, this film has access to an AA meeting in central England for the first time ever.Rooted in the evangelical Christianity of 1930s America, many of the cornerstones of the programme's structure have changed little. How does this organisation work in our modern society? How do members with no faith at all interpret the programme now, and why does it still work for so many?
