A humorous and deeply personal account of what giving up drink is like socially, physically and emotionally, and a commentary on attitudes to drinking within the work-hard-play-hard culture of the 21st Century, covering improving your social life, discovering the 'real you', dozens of sober leisure activities, benefits to health, wealth and work, finding love, and achieving satisfaction in sobriety.
A music industry A&R man and committed member of Generation-X, Andy knew virtually nothing beyond pubs, clubs, gigs and parties. Drinking heavily just went with the territory. Then, in the depths of a 16-day drink and drug bender of Bacchanalian proportions, he accepted a bet to go completely tee-total. For an entire year.
"Cutting down on getting wasted doesn't have to mean hermit-like seclusion or terminal boredom; my experience was in fact quite the opposite!"
