Throughout his college years, Toren Volkmann partied like there was no tomorrow, having what was supposed to be the time of his life. Like so many parents, his mother, Chris, overlooked Toren's growing alcohol problem. But when he graduated, Toren realized he'd become a full-blown alcoholic. And he was not alone.
Considered a rite of passage, teenage drinking has skyrocketed to epidemic proportions, fostering a generation of young adults whose lives are already beginning to come apart under the strain. This book, written from the viewpoints of both mother and son, is a riveting, enlightening, and heartbreakingly true story of a family that was able to confront the fear, pain, and denial that threatened to destroy them—and survive the epidemic of teenage drinking that's putting America's future at risk.

From Binge to Blackout: A Mother and Son Struggle With Teen Drinking
I am an alcoholic. I can't simply drink one drink. Simple left the party an hour ago while I engaged in some debauched act which painted my true self with a "aw, what an idiot" paintbrush. The author, Chris Volkmann, discovered her son was alcoholic when he told her he was. He, Toren, called her to inform of his goal to enter rehab. Shock ran through the family, and later ran the gauntlet of shame,fear, blame, and help. Reading this with an addict mind, I felt the warning signs happened much sooner, yet the parents seemed to brush them off. How many times does your teenage son have to kicked off a team or be caught intoxicated in college for you to wonder about him. I also felt Toren still has "it's not my fault" attitude toward a lot of his encounters with law enforcement while in college. Written almost 13 years ago, I hope Toren is still sober. This is a great read for families struggling with addiction because it does include helpful charts and information on red flags.
