Alcoholism Link Library
Dateline: 03/25/98The Net Link library here at the Alcoholism site on The Mining Co. has been extensively reorganized in hopes of making it even easier to find the information you are seeking.
The Net Links in our library now number in the hundreds and to better categorize them to make searching for information easier, they have been divided into 30 different topic libraries.
Information for Problem Drinkers
Many of the links we have selected for our libraries relate to alcohol, its effects on the drinker, his/her health, and those around him. These pages help explain the direct effects of alcohol and expose some general misconceptions:
