What if the thing you call ""fun"" is quietly keeping you from the life you're meant to live?

We live in a world that celebrates drinking-and questions those who don't. From rooftop parties to weekend ""escapes,"" alcohol has become the unspoken ritual of belonging. But behind the laughter and the clinking of glasses, there's a quiet truth we rarely admit: most people aren't choosing joy-they're escaping pain.

In Poison Culture, Elianne Voss offers a piercing look at how alcohol seeps into our identities, our relationships, and our sense of worth. Drawing from decades of observation and unflinching honesty, she reveals how drinking has become the socially accepted mask for stress, loneliness, and self-doubt-and how choosing clarity over conformity changes everything.

This isn't a book about addiction. It's about awareness-about waking up to the ways we've been numbing instead of living, and discovering the freedom that comes when we finally see through the fog.

Raw, reflective, and profoundly human, Poison Culture challenges everything we think we know about ""normal"" drinking. It's a wake-up call for anyone who's ever said, ""I don't have a problem,"" but secretly wonders if alcohol has been holding them back.

If you've ever felt out of place for choosing not to drink, this book will remind you: clarity isn't strange-it's power.

About the Author Elianne Voss writes about emotional truth, awakening, and the courage to live without hiding. Her work invites readers to challenge cultural norms and reclaim the kind of peace that comes only from clarity.
