The most honest, helpful and perceptive book I’ve ever read about alcohol, and also the funniest – Josh WiddicombeThe funniest book ever written about wanting to drink yourself to death – Lou SandersInsightful and intelligent. Harrowing but hopeful. And, as always, hilarious – Adrian ChilesA triumph, and as powerful a description of alcoholism as I’ve read – Bryony GordonI loved this book. Unflinching, poetic, funny and beautiful, yet still somehow so needlessly pedantic and silly. It’s a rich and generous enquiry into how to be a human – Josie LongRobins at his finest – Pierre NovellieEqual parts hilarity and heartbreak, delivered with rare candour – Lou Sanders
