Thought I'd have a try at this -

Mmm - whaddaya y'all think?

Anyway, I've started reading these two. Er, a subject close to my liver, I can tell you. I'll do an Edit when I've read them, let you know what I think.

Edit: So, two stories set in New York/Boston, one featuring a Gay male, and one a Preppy female, both of whom work in the Media industry. I don't know, I'd never come across terms like 'High-Functioning Alcoholic' before. It seems an oxymoron. By definition, Alcoholics don't keep High-Powered jobs for years on end. Having your first drink of the day at 7pm after a hectic schedule, and making it into work for 9am without fail probably means you have a serious drink problem, and you certainly need help (Both attended Rehab), but to my mind (and Liver) there was something a little false about both books. Worth a read if you've had probs with the bottle, otherwise both a bit heavy-going.
