This gripping heart-breaking and witty book takes us down the rabbit-hole of an alternative reality. A life with zero hangovers through sober weddings sex Christmases and breakups. In The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober Catherine Gray shines a light on society's drink-pushing and talks to top neuroscientists and psychologists about why we drink delving into the science behind what it does to our brains and bodies. Much more than a tale from the netherworld of addicted drinking this book is about the escape and why a sober life can be more intoxicating than you ever imagined."--Publisher description.
