Buzzed is a nonfiction book that details the effects and history of various types of drugs. These range from caffeine to nicotine to heroine to inhalants. Buzzed not only tells you what they are and what effects they cause but goes into the science behind why people abuse them and how they effect the brain. All the information is presented in a mostly unbiased way that is sorted into useful chapters. However, they also use a lot of chemical names that as they put it "look like alphabet soup". These near unpronounceable names popping up and being referred to frequently can make it difficult to read at times.
Overall it was a very informative and for a nonfiction, scientific book was not too painful to get through.
