Turning down a drink isn’t easy. Not only do you have to deal with your own desire for that chilled and glistening glass of white, you also have to tackle the: “Why aren’t you drinking?” “Are you pregnant?” “Go on… just one!” And the worst one of all: “You’re no fun without a drink!”

Well here’s the thing: you are fun! And this book shows you how and why you can still be the life and soul of the party, keep your friends, and be sober. Through a broad range of tips and tricks, you’ll feel empowered to take on those trigger moments (stressful work day; challenging family life; break ups), as well as classic big occasions (the wedding toast; the bachelorette party; the Christmas lunch).

Through the tips, you’ll learn more about yourself (why you’re giving up/cutting back), how to keep your relationships tight (with your partner, colleagues and friends) and ways to enjoy your new found sobriety, from understanding the benefit to your health to appreciating the improvement in your bank balance.
