Alcohol consumption likely to continue, despite harms and parallels with tobacco, Carl Erik Fisher predicts
ABC News Australia
Some research indicates that humans have been consuming alcohol since 7,000 BC. By comparison, Dr Fisher says our understanding of tobacco as a widespread commodity, particularly cigarettes, is "young" and therefore less cemented in our cultural DNA.

Will future generations turn away from alcohol?

Carl Erik Fisher: Understanding Addiction
Practicing Podcast | Sam Freeman

Carl Erik Fisher: The Urge: Our History Of Addiction
Joshua Spodek
I almost couldn't believe someone could write a book like Carl Erik Fisher's The Urge: Our History of Addiction. It tells the histories of addiction in human society since antiquity and of him, addicted, including in medical school, jail, and recovery. I don't know how many people could have shared such vulnerability or connected his experience to the reader's so we feel empathy.

Heroin in 1940s America: ‘the work of this era only served to heighten the division between good and bad drugs’
Society for the Study of Addiction
In many ways, though, the work of this era only served to heighten the division between good and bad drugs – and good and bad drug users. An overly reductionist perspective on addiction, one heavily influenced by the biases and prejudices of the time, blinded society to the dangers on both sides of that divide.
