Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Donna Cornett, founder of Drink/Link Moderate Drinking Programs, is a former problem drinker and holds an MA and California College Teaching Credential in psychology. She was in her 30's when she started worrying about her drinking.  Even though she wasn't suffering from any alcohol-related problems, she was health conscious and concerned she might become an alcoholic if she didn't do something about it early on.

At the time her only options were abstinence and AA which didn't work for her because she didn't think her drinking was serious enough to stop altogether.  As a result, she started counseling drinkers in 1985 and after much research, developed the Drink/Link Moderate Drinking Program in 1988.  She no longer has a drinking problem, knows when to stop and never worries about her drinking as a result. 


Cornett has counseled thousands of drinkers, is an expert on substance use and abuse has been featured or consulted for articles in numerous publications, including Time Magazine, ABCNews.com, Esquire and WebMD. She is also the author of Moderate Drinking - Naturally!, Moderate Drinking Made Easy and Beat Binge Drinking.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I was in my 30's when I started worrying about my drinking. I wasn't suffering from any alcohol-related problems, but I was health conscious and heavy drinking and its consequences didn't fit into my future. And even though I was concerned about my drinking, I didn't think it was serious enough to stop and join AA - my only options at the time.

Armed with an MA and California College Teaching Credential in psychology, I started counseling drinkers in 1985 and started Drink/Link Moderate Drinking Programs in 1988. I believed there was a real need to offer a commonsense moderate drinking program to problem drinkers like myself - teaching drinkers to modify drinking habits and attitudes and reduce alcohol consumption. Problem drinkers outnumber alcoholics four to one. And a problem drinker is still capable of reversing a drinking problem and returning to safe, responbsible drinking with early intervention. If you offer this huge population of problem drinkers - who suffer from years of alcohol abuse and eventually graduate to alcoholism - a sensible, middle-of-the-road program you could prevent millions of drinkers from crossing the line to alcoholism!

I haven't struggled with a drinking problem for years. I automatically know when to stop and enjoy the peace of mind knowing I'll never worry about my drinking again. I've written three books, 7 Weeks to Safe Social Drinking: How to Effectively Moderate Your Alcohol Intake, Moderate Drinking - Naturally! Herbs and Vitamins to Control Your Drinking and the latest, the Moderate Drinking Made Easy Workbook: Drinker-Friendly Tips and Exercises to Control Drinking and Reduce Alcohol Craving and Consumption.

I invite you to call or email me with questions or concerns about your drinking and I'll give you my take. Totally free and confidential. In closing, keep this thought in mind: A healthy lifestyle - physically and mentally - is the antidote to alcohol abuse.

Take Care,

Donna Cornett

Happy social drinker
5.0 out of 5 stars It worked for me

The other reviewers put it very well but I wanted to add to the list of reviews so that other readers can see that there are a number of people who found it a terrific methodology. I love to be social and have fun. Much of my social life involves food and drink. I had gone overboard too many times and caused problems as a result. I was very motivated because I did not want to have to give up drinking. Fortunately Donna found a system that is very easy to follow. She presented it in a way which is easy to understand and provided a lot of pointers which help.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for alcoholics...
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2012

I read that book and thought it was certainly helpful and could be useful for problem drinkers. However, if you are an alcoholic, this book could give you false hope that you can beat the disease. Some people just can't drink. While the techniques in the book are certainly efficient, I did not like the overly positive tone and the way they are presented, like they are some kind of magic potion against problem drinking. Just be really careful.

5.0 out of 5 stars It works!
Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2012

7 Weeks to Safe Social Drinking...has helped me tremendously. What has helped the most is allowing my self only 2 to 3 drinks and spacing 3 hours apart. It has helped me to better metabolize the alcohol and not get silly or too tired (which happens at 3)when out socially. At first it was hard when your friends and family are not on the same program and they want to make you another drink but sipping slowly (wine works best with this) and also having a glass of water to go along with keeps you hydrated as well.

If you want to explore a realistic way to help you regulate your drinking, this book is worth reading. Simple and rational guidelines are presented, but remember, you must do all the work; there is no magic! I highly recommend giving it a try.

This book is very helpful if you feel you would like to reduce your drinking to a more limited level. It provides a very complete list of recommendations and plans as to how to accomplish this. However, if you are a definite alcoholic or have serious alcohol dependency problems, I think this book would not work for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars well done
Reviewed in Canada on April 15, 2014

Harm reduction, especially regarding alcoho,l is a misunderstood concept. This book in particular is backed by a determination to address the "sticky middle", the drinkers out there who have a little too much and are not going to be helped by twelve step programs or even attend them in the first place. Bell's approach is straightforward and I believe evidence based. This is well worth a look for anyone who is among the thousands of people who want to enjoy drinking their entire lives. My only worry is its failure to address the intense pleasure and relief drinkers get from drinking. That's not a big flaw but the pleasure and relief are driving motivations that begs to be considered.
