Blind Drunk: A Sober Look at Our Boozy Culture

Society’s dependence on alcohol goes far beyond the physical. We drink to celebrate, commiserate, socialize and mark the passage into adulthood. Individuals who opt out with or without a drinking problem must re-invent themselves in multiple contexts. Combining memoir and analysis, author Veronica Woodruff chronicles the evolution of one family’s drinking culture against the backdrop of society’s quest for a healthy relationship with alcohol.

Veronica Woodruff has background in environmental science complemented by a Master of Arts in Leadership. From Lil̓wat Nation Traditional Territory in Pemberton, BC, she leads a wide range of initiatives for governments, non-profit organizations, universities, and industry. Blind Drunk is her first book.
