Description
Why does not drinking need an explanation?
A reward after work. A way to relax. Something to go with a meal. Alcohol can become part of everyday life before we question the place it has taken.
“The longest relationship in my life was with alcohol.” — Kevin Laban
From making home brew as a teenager to late-night drinking, playing in a band and learning to cut down, Kevin uses his own experiences to explore familiar habits. He gave up alcohol around his cancer diagnosis in April 2024, aged fifty-six. His story provides examples throughout a book that turns the attention towards your own relationship with drinking.
Clear diagrams, personal photographs and sourced health information explore the links between alcohol, stress, sleep, social pressure and the routines we build around a glass. Practical reflections help you examine what you pour, what you spend and what you want to change.
Whether you are curious about your habits, thinking of cutting down or considering giving up, this book offers a starting point for an honest look at the role alcohol plays in your life.
If you may be dependent on alcohol, seek medical advice before stopping suddenly. This book is not a detoxification programme or a substitute for individual medical advice.
