The Good Drinker - Adrian Chiles

Adrian Chiles didn’t think he had a drinking problem, until he realised he was regularly putting away 100 units of alcohol a week. Doctors say any more than fourteen is potentially harmful. Neither did he think he was dependent on alcohol, until he realised that he drank nearly every day, that it had been a way of life for him since he was a teenager, and that he simply couldn’t imagine having a good time without it. When specialists told him something had to change, he had a choice to make – stop drinking completely or cut right down. He chose the latter.

Join Chiles on the road to moderation, as he looks back on a lifetime’s drinking. And asks himself searching questions about the roots and nature of his – and our – addiction to alcohol. All in his quest to find the good drinker within.
