| Summary |
"It's faced strong challenges from heroin and cannabis and newcomers like ice that grab public fascination and political attention. But alcohol retains its durable, dubious crown as arguably this country's most destructive drug. Through trauma and sickness it kills more than 3000 Australians and hospitalises 70,000 annually. Its dark hand lurks behind high rates of suicide and mental illness. Behind the bleak statistics lie human stories of tragic waste and, occasionally, of uplifting triumph over addiction. Four Corners gains a personal insight into Australia's neglected drinking problem by following three hard drinkers over several months as they battle to stay sober." -- website |
