  • "Provides information on the most often used and abused drugs, including how they manipulate the brain."
  • "Provides current, factual information about many of the most commonly used and abused drugs, looking at how they affect the brain, their short and long term effects, the highs they produce, and the dangers associated with them."
  • ""Updated and revised, here is the second edition of the essential, most accessible source for understanding how drugs work and their effects on body and behavior-from alcohol to Ecstasy.""
  • "A new edition of a best-selling reference incorporates the latest findings on such topics as energy drinks, prescription medications, and the date-rape drug GHB, in an accessible volume that features quick-reference summaries, reports on how drugs enter the body and manipulate the brain, and entries on their short- and long-term effects."
  • "From the Publisher: The third edition of the essential, accessible source for understanding how drugs work and their effects on body and behavior. Together, the first two editions of Buzzed have sold over 120,000 copies-and now the authors have revised and updated the book to include the most recent discoveries about drugs, including new information on the energy drinks craze, prescription drugs such as OxyContin and Ambien, and the date-rape drug GHB. Scientifically accurate and easy to read, this no-nonsense handbook gives the most balanced, objective information available on the most often used and abused drugs, from alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine to heroin, Ecstasy, and methamphetamine. In both quick-reference summaries and in-depth analysis, it reports on how these drugs enter the body, how they manipulate the brain, their short-term and long-term effects, the kinds of "high" they produce, and the circumstances in which they can be deadly. Neither a "Just Say No" treatise nor a "How to" manual, Buzzed is based on the conviction that people make better decisions with accurate information at hand."
  • "Based on the most current psychological and pharmacological research, provides a reliable, unbiased look at the use and abuse of legal and illegal drugs -- from alcohol, caffeine, and anti-anxiety pills to heroin, ecstasy, and special-K."
