Book Description
7 Weeks to Safe Social Drinking is based on the Drink/Link Moderate Drinking Program which has helped thousands of drinkers to control drinking and drink less since 1988. Over 60% of the drinkers who have completed this program have cut their drinking in half and over 80% have significantly reduced their alcohol consumption! You'll learn to modify your drinking habits and attitudes, overcome alcohol craving, drink less and prevent alcoholism on your own at home - no meetings, belief in a higher power or professional help are required.
First, you define safe social drinking and learn five healthy drinking guidelines. Then, each week you learn new clinically-proven strategies and techniques to help you stay within the guidelines you learned the first week. How to manage drinking desire, pace your drinking, pre-plan for drinking occasions and learn from your slips are all covered. By the end of the program, alcohol is less important to you, you're drinking less and enjoying it more!

Best Book To Improve Drinking Habits!.......2007-07-31
This is the best book I've read about moderate drinking and how to get there.
Most of the time I don't have a problem with alcohol but sometimes it takes
over and I drink too much. I have found the suggestions in this book invaluable,
especially pre-planning my drinking behavior with the tips in the program,
eating while I'm drinking and watching the clock to slow down my drinking.
That's just for starters. Cornett gives lots of tips and also works on your
attitude about alcohol and its importance in your life.
I think this book could change the world and have given it to friends who
drink too much.
Not for hard drinkers.......2007-05-17
The book is well written and includes good guidelines to follow if you are not a serious drinker.
Problem Drinker or Alcoholic? It Doesn't Matter!.......2006-07-04
I don't know if I was a problem drinker or alcoholic. I don't care - I'm not into labels. But I do know I wanted to drink less and become less dependent on alcohol. And 7 Weeks helped me. One message in the book is you've got to take responsibility for your drinking instead of chalking it up to genes or a bad childhood or whatever. Another message is you can change if you want to. And Cornett gives concrete tips to cut down.
Who care if you're a "problem drinker" or "alcoholic"? If you want to drink less and have a healthier relationship with alcohol, 7 Weeks is for you. I'd pay twice the price for this book if I had to do it all over again.
A Winner for Anyone Questioning Their Drinking.......2005-11-30
This book has been a lifesaver for me. For years I enjoyed social drinking without problems, but the last couple of years I've questioned if I was drinking too much. This program showed me how to pace my drinking, how to make a drinking plan in advance before I started drinking(which really worked)and how to stick to my limit fairly easily. It also made alcohol less important to me - a huge step in the right direction to get back on the healthy social drinking path again. I recommend this book to anyone questioning their drinking. It's a straightforward approach to drink less and drink appropriately.
Loved this book!.......2005-08-11
I wish I had discovered this book 10 years ago. It spelled out how to achieve moderate drinking. It was easy to follow and best of all it worked for me! There are only a few books out that cover the subject of changing drinking behavior. One is filled with stats, boring and hard for me to stay interested in. Another one was too general - no specifics to help me manage drinking. 7 Weeks held my interest and gave specific tips to keep alcohol consumption down and to beat problem drinking.
Book Description
Written for the general consumer, this book is a comprehensive synopsis at every phase of a drunk driving case, from the initial police stop through trial, with powerful insight into secret tactics used by law enforcement officers and prosecutors, and effective ways to avoid a conviction.

Winning Ways.......2002-02-11
"Drunk Driving Defense: How to Beat the Rap" is a classic. The book is written for laypersons, such as myself, so it is easy to read and understand. Learn everything there is to know about a drunk driving offense--how to prevent an arrest, what to do when you are stopped by the police, what to do when arrested, and how to present a solid defense to avoid a conviction.
One very important topic was the substance abuse evaluation: What its all about and how to avoid being classified as a drunk. This alone can save you thousands of dollars in unnecessary substance abuse treatment.
Do yourself a favor, buy this book and read it TODAY. The public must be knowledgeable about drunk driving offenses, and this book is the best place to start.

The Title Says It All.......2002-02-10
No one has ever written such a thoroughly comprehensive book for the average person. "Beat the Rap" takes a person step-by-step through the entire process from the police stop through a drunk driving trial. Everything in-between explains in plain and simple language the many ways to "Beat the Rap". I have spoken to several people who used the book, and they were able to educate their lawyer about the subject. Everyone should own this book as preventive medicine. I purchased numerous copies and gave them as Christmas gifts. In today's MADD Mother society, everyone needs to be prepared for the worst, and this book will give you the sense of security we all need. The author is an attorney specializing in drunk driving defense, so he knows the subject inside-out.
Average customer rating:

- Should be Required Reading for every DUI/DWI Lawyer

Book Description
For even the most seasoned attorneys, defending DUI cases has always presented special challenges. Today, due to legislative developments, the introduction of incredibly sophisticated blood alcohol-testing technologies, and an increasingly harsh prosecutorial climate, mounting a successful defense is more difficult than ever. That's why attorneys rely on Drunk Driving Defense.
Written by Lawrence Taylor and Steven Oberman, Drunk Driving Defense has been selected as the official textbook of the National College for DUI Defense and is generally considered to be the standard-bearing reference in the field.
Drunk Driving Defense ensures that you understand the chemical, biological and technological concepts and issues underlying DUI prosecution and defense. Rely on authors Taylor and Oberman to bring you up to speed in key areas including:
The key defects inherent in blood and breath analysis and testing.
The correlation between blood alcohol concentration and actual impairment.
The effects of stress and cold weather on alcohol absorption.
How fermentation of the blood sample may raise blood alcohol levels.
The affect of acetone in breath tests taken by diabetics and dieters.
Possible errors in breath analysis due to FI (radio frequency interference).
The effect of trauma from an automobile accident on alcohol elimination
And more
Drunk Driving Defense, Sixth Edition contains dozens of practical tools to streamline and simplify the complex DUI defense process. And now, they are all included on a free bonus CD-ROM - so you can locate, review and print them out in a matter of seconds.

The purpose of this book is to promote Mr. Taylor's law firm that provides very poor service and charges a lot of money for it.......2007-07-24
After reading reviews on this book I hired Mr. Taylor's law firm in California to represent me in my DUI case. Now I believe the only purpose of this book is to promote Mr. Taylor's law firm in California. I had a very bad experience with his company that charged me over 4 times the going rate and provided a very poor service. Don't let this book make you belive that if you hire his firm you will get everthing that he writes about in his book. My experience was the opposite and I was very dissapointed.
Should be Required Reading for every DUI/DWI Lawyer.......2006-08-20
An essential for every DUI/DWI Defense Attorney.
Relevant and helpful but not for Virginia DUI/DWI cases .......2004-10-11
As a criminal DUI/DWI defense lawyer in one of Virginia's leading DUI defense firms, I have read this text along with others including The Defense of Drunk Drivers published by West.
This text, Drunk Driving Defense, without mention, is not a text for laypersons; it is specifically written for attorneys interested in the minute aspects of DUI defense litigation and the technical arenas of blood alcohol testing. The book provides fundamentals in the technical defenses and assumptions in DUI cases, but not at the level one would expect from a hornbook.
Indeed, I agree with the statement that this book has an overview of the laws of the 50 states. For persons interested in defending cases in Virginia, I would recommend the text mentioned above from West along with publications of the VCLE of the Virginia Law Foundation. Both of these references have a more concrete treatment of DUI defense litigation in the Commonwealth.
Drunk Driving Defense, 5th edition -- great book!.......2001-02-05
This new edition is even better than the previous editions -- which were great! Updated laws, new scientific studies on breath alcohol analysis and field sobriety tests, new sample pretrial motions and cross-examinations, jury selection, license suspensions, etc. I particularly found the detailed checklists helpful, along with the sample cross-examinations of the cop on things like DUI symptoms, nystagmus, field sobriety tests and breath tests. Taylor's book became my bible years ago, and this new edition is even bigger and better!
Good General Ideas but Not Good for a Practice.......2000-11-25
I am an attorney who defends people accused of driving under the influence in California. This review assumes that you are also an attorney, not necessarily in California.
As any attorney will know the laws of one state are not binding, although they may be influencial. Mr. Taylor's book has an excellent overview of the laws of th 50 states. I read this book and learned alot about how I could defend my clients better. Unfortately, DUI laws change more then most. The laws cited here, even when they were applicable to California were old. While you can update them in your library, I would prefer a book where I didn't have to do that as often. As such, I would recommend this book, as one of many, to give you an idea about the general state of the laws and some ideas about human chemistry/biology. But, for a practical guide, I would recommmend his other book "tailored" for California. Still it is a good book, it is well written, and I do recommend it.

Terrific book -- but get newer 2nd edition!.......2001-02-05
This is the California version of Taylor's national book, Drunk Driving Defense (5th edition), a bestselling classic for over 20 years. I can't imagine representing a client in California without this detailed guide. The sample pretrial motions and the cross-examinations of the cop and the breath/blood technician alone are worth the price. And the detailed checklists are invaluable.
An earlier reviewer noted that the caselaw seemed outdated, but it was a review written in 2000 of Taylor's old 1st edition -- which clearly says it was published in 1988! Make sure to get the newest version, which I believe is the 2nd edition. Also, get the annual supplements to stay on top of new laws and stuff like new blood alcohol studies.
Easily the most used book in our library!
Solid Primer for Attorneys.......2000-11-25
For California Attorneys I would strongly suggest you add this book to your "war chest", if you do DUIs. There are a few other DUI books out there, but his one is very solid on the law and the reality behind the law. Mr. Taylor gives you some good examples of cross examination, which I have modified and used. In addition, with the updates, most of the motions I wanted were provided.
I had only two minor complaints. First, I disagree with Mr. Taylor about DMV hearings. In this section, Mr. Taylor essentially states that you will always lose. Wrong. I have won a few hearings, as I am sure he has, on technical grounds. I wanted to see if had any such technical grounds that I may have overlooked; he had none. Come on Lawrence, I have paid you for the book, where are my inside tips. I have also won DUI hearings on the merits. As such, again, I am sure someone from Mr. Taylor's offices has done the same. Unfortunately the book is silent on these points.
Second, Mr. Taylor quotes cases which are not published. He will then tell you that they aren't published, after you have read them. Judges may not rely on unpublished cases. If you cited them in court, even if you informed the court that they aren't published, it can only hurt you. Either the judge will presume you were trying to mislead them, or they will assume that the case wasn't published for a reason. I just have not found it worthwhile to cite those cases.
Still these are only minor points. Overall this book is well written and well reseached. A DUI attorney could, but shouldn't, rely only on this book and still come out well in court. It is well done and a good read.
