Go Ask Alice is a 1971 novel about the life of a troubled teenage girl. It is written by Beatrice Sparks in the form of the diary of an anonymous teenage girl who becomes addicted to drugs. The diarist's name is never given in the book. The novel's title was taken from a line in the 1967 Grace Slick-penned Jefferson Airplane song "White Rabbit" ("go ask Alice/when she's ten feet tall"), which is itself a reference to a scene in Lewis Carroll's book Alice's Adventures In Wonderland where Alice eats one side of a mushroom that makes her grow large. Go Ask Alice is presented as an anti-drug testimonial.
Claimed to be taken from an actual diary, the story caused a sensation when published, and remained in print as of 2016. Revelations about the book's origin cast doubt on its authenticity and factual accounts, and the publishers have listed it as a work of fiction since at least the mid-late 1980s. Although it is still published under the byline "Anonymous", it is largely or wholly the work of its purported editor, Beatrice Sparks. Some of the days and dates referenced in the book put the timeline from 1968 until 1970.
Go Ask Alice! is an online Q&A Internet resource provided by Columbia University for both students and the general public with questions or curiosity about health topics. The site has no affiliation with the book Go Ask Alice by Beatrice Sparks.
Go Ask Alice! started in the fall of 1993 at Columbia University's Health Promotion Program (now called Alice!). In the fall of 1994, the website went global. A book, The Go Ask Alice! Book of Answers, was published in 1998. Due to the age of many of the answers, and new research and development in the medical field since they were written, many answers have been or are in the process of being updated. The university uses a continuous review and update process to ensure accuracy of the content.
An updated version of the site (third overhaul since it started) was launched on 17 January 2012. The new version of the site includes the core Q&A format, but also introduces new access to health information, alerts, recalls, news items and much more. To build on the site's interactivity, new features (quick quizzes, polls) were included along with full integration with a broad range of social media platforms and the ability to comment & rate questions. In addition to the new look and content, the site has been optimized for readers with visual impairments and also offers an easy to use mobile version for smartphone users. Each week, the site posts new questions and answers and/or updated answers to previously answered questions from the archive. In addition to these questions, the site updates also include a poll, reader responses to older questions, and a "theme of the week" section that includes selected archived questions and answers.
One pill makes you larger And one pill makes you small And the ones that mother gives you Don't do anything at all Go ask Alice When she's ten feet tall And if you go chasing rabbits And you know you're going to fall Tell them a hookah-smoking caterpillar Has given you the call Call Alice when she was just small When the men on the chess board Get up and tell you where to go And you just had some kind of mushroom And your mind is moving slow Go ask Alice I think she'll know When logic and proportion Have fallen sloppy dead And the white knight is talking backwards And the Red Queen's lost her head Remember what the dormouse said Feed your head
