According to statistics by Drink Aware, 9% of the workforce suffer the consequences of alcohol, on average, twice every working week. People with drinking problems are a far cry from the stereotypical violent husband or jobless vagrant. The overwhelming majority, are someone like you, or the person sat on the other side of your desk. As an employer, It is essential, not just for the welfare of your employee, that you are able to recognise the signs of a drinking problem early. Absenteeism, and indeed Presenteeism, along with other related effects of alcohol abuse amongst employees can be devastating for your business.

Beat the Booze, written by nationally renowned author and journalist Edmund Tirbutt, has proved incredibly successful in aiding those who were trying to either cut down, or completely cut out, their alcohol consumption; with staggering success rates (78-92%). However, by the time the individual sufferer comes to the point of recognising that they need to change their drinking habits the damage to the individual, and their company, can already be severe. And that is why Tirbutt's second book, Help them Beat the Booze, is designed primarily for family, friends, colleagues and employers of alcohol sufferers. To help them recognise the signs earlier and implement an effective course of action to reverse the damage.

As well as traditional methods, Beat the Booze brings many unknown, yet effective, methods to combat drinking problems to the forefront, such as:

  • Information about Non-Alcoholic wines and beers of unprecedented resemblance to their alcoholic counterparts
  • A pioneering form of technology that claims remarkable success rates in helping people overcome drink problems by connecting the brain to high tech video games
  • Eating the right diet in the early weeks and months of recovery
  • Advice on the reactions to expect from people around the sufferer when they cut down or cut out alcohol.
