David R. Stronck
About this book
Describes the physical and psychological effects of alcohol and discusses reasons why young people should avoid drinking.
Censorship history
In 2025, "Alcohol: The Real Story" by David R. Stronck was banned at the school level in several districts across the United States, primarily due to concerns from parents and school officials regarding its content on alcohol consumption among youth. The ban was enacted following complaints from local Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) and resulted in school board votes that upheld the decision to remove the book from libraries and curricula. The specific reasons cited for the ban included its frank discussion of alcohol's effects, which some deemed inappropriate for young audiences. As of late 2025, the ban remains contested in various districts, with ongoing debates about its educational value versus perceived risks.
