Abstract
Ethanol, or alcohol, is one of the most commonly used recreational drugs. On a global basis, alcohol misuse causes the deaths of 3 million people each year (WHO, 2014). This is about 1 in 17 deaths. Alcohol misuse also causes many neurological pathologies. In terms of the global burden of disease, neuropsychiatric disorders contribute to about 25% of all alcohol-attributable disability-adjusted life years (DALYS). The detailed mechanisms related to the neurological effects of alcohol and treatments are relatively recent advances within alcohol-related research. This chapter lists resources of the regulatory bodies, professional societies, journals, books, and websites that are relevant to an evidence-based approach to the neuroscience of alcohol and alcohol treatments. For example, we list over 100 websites and 90 recommended books.
