The Good Drinker: How I Learned to Love Drinking Less

Autor Adrian Chiles
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 oct 2022
'I've occasionally been asked why it is that I need to go for a drink before watching the Albion play. I've always answered with something lame, along the lines of, "You wanna try watching us sober" ... where does this urge come from? I've raced off to games hours early to give me a chance to drink a lot of beer in a relatively short time ... the craic is good, usually. Sometimes it isn't, Occasionally it's all rather boring. But I always make the effort. Why? Well..'The popular broadcaster and columnist sets out to discover the unsung pleasures of drinking in moderation.The recommended alcohol limit is 14 units a week. Adrian Chiles used to put away almost 100. Ever since he was a teenager, drinking was his idea of a good time - and not just his, but seemingly the whole nation's. Still, it wasn't very good for him: the doctor made that clear. If you lined them up, Adrian must have knocked back three miles of drinks. How many of them had he genuinely wanted? A mile?There's an awful lot of advice out there on how to quit booze completely. If you just want to drink a bit less, the pickings are slim. Yet while the alcohol industry depends on a minority of problem drinkers, the majority really do enjoy in moderation. What's their secret? Join the inimitable Chiles as he sets out around Britain and plumbs his only slightly fuzzy memories of a lifetime in pubs in a quest to find the good drinker within.

Notă biografică

Adrian Chiles hosts Chiles on Friday on BBC Radio 5 Live. He co-presented both The One Show and Daybreak, and was for five years the chief presenter for ITV Sport's football coverage. He writes a regular column in both the Guardian and the Sun, which not many people can claim. His previous book, We Don't Know What We're Doing, was about obsessive West Bromwich Albion fans.

Recenzii

Chiles's self-deprecation may be stage-managed, but the underlying modesty is real. Sitting alongside his propensity to admit his ignorance is an attractive willingness to listen to anyone, of any age or social station, who might tell him something meaningful ... This is why Adrian Chiles is beautiful
Honest, funny and full of strategies on how to moderate your drinking, Chiles is genuinely passionate about his pints and the need to enjoy them without ever coming across as preachy - a fine line many have failed to tread ... sage ... funny and touching
A fascinating read
An easy read mixture of wit and wisdom ... should be read by all who drink more than the limit
A humorous and heartfelt exploration of the pleasures of drinking in moderation
Adrian is a good and engaging writer so the book is a pleasure to read, and there is lots to digest for anyone considering or practicing moderate or mindful drinking
A great read
The UK's only good columnist
