520    "It happened this way: I fell in love and then, because 
       the love was ruining everything I cared about, I had to 
       fall out." So begins Drinking: A Love Story, journalist 
       Caroline Knapp's brave and powerful memoir of her twenty 
       years as a functioning alcoholic. Knapp writes that she 
       loved liquor the way she loved bad men and, like all 
       tragic love stories, hers is a tale of seduction and 
       betrayal, a testament to the alluring but ultimately 
       destructive powers of addiction. Fifteen million Americans
       a year are afflicted with the disease of alcoholism. Five 
       million of them are women. Caroline Knapp, for example, 
       started drinking at age fourteen. She drank through her 
       years at an Ivy League college, through an award-winning 
       career as a lifestyle editor and columnist. Publicly she 
       was a dutiful daughter, attentive friend, sophisticated 
       professional. Privately she was drinking herself into 
       oblivion, trapped in love relationships that continued to 
       undermine her self-esteem - until a series of personal 
       crises forced her to confront and ultimately break free of
       the "liquid armor" she'd used to shield herself from the 
       complicated battles of growing up. Caroline Knapp's 
       ruthless self-examination, moral courage, and singular 
       ability as a writer inform this remarkable memoir with 
       many new insights about alcoholism, but more important, 
       with many profound insights about life.
