The Good Drinker by Adrian Chiles | Hachette UK The Good Drinker by Adrian Chiles | Hachette UK

Opening in 1963 New York, to Renaissance Florence, to the birth of theatre in fifth-century Athens, and the Sex Pistols shattering Thatcherite Britain - take your seat for the history of performance. He says: “A game-changer is draught alcohol-free beer in pubs because it’s got equal standing to other beers. Ever since he was a teenager, drinking was his idea of a good time - and not just his, but seemingly the whole nation's.

What is unique to New Mocktails Bible, are recipes provided by many alcohol-free drink producers, using their own products. He discovered he was drinking up to 100 units a week and a doctor told him he had signs of liver damage. But if you’re doing it to give yourself a free pass to drink like a fish over Christmas and New Year, that maybe isn’t such a good thing. He focuses on being practical and being forgiving of yourself - don't get too hung up on the 14 units a week guidance, drinking 30 units a week is still much better than drinking 80. And the way he discusses these issues with others who have had similar experiences but dealt with it in a variety of ways have helped provide me some techniques that may be useful at present or in the future (in areas other than alcohol).

I gave this interesting book a try even though I was 75% certain that it would be a bait and switch to abstinence only. And sober living is weaved into the text throughout; though it is not the only topic, everything supports it. I've raced off to games hours early to give me a chance to drink a lot of beer in a relatively short time .On one hand I loved this as it was a comfort to hear how much Chiles has drunk throughout his life because it’s more than me!
