Take the first step toward a better, healthier you

Have you ever been so hungover you thought, I'm never drinking again -- only to have a drink in your hand by that afternoon? Have you ever felt overwhelmed by dread at 3am after a boozy night? Have you tried to stop drinking, but found it too hard?

Last Drinks is here to help you find your best and sober self. You can have a life with less alcohol. A life with better sleep, greater focus and more energy.

From Maz Compton, TV personality, radio host, podcaster, and sober since 2015, Last Drinks is an honest, science-backed guide to help you cut back your alcohol intake and improve your everyday life. In 2015, after a turbulent year, a career high and a big New Year's Eve, Maz decided to do something different: she stopped drinking for 30 days. What followed was a journey that would transform her life for the better -- and she hasn't had a drink since. Maz discovered she was a much better version of herself when sober, and with Last Drinks, you can too.

In this guide, you'll discover how alcohol affects your mind and body, how cultural norms shape our perception of alcohol, and the common signs that habitual drinking is impacting you negatively. You'll hear motivational, inspirational stories from some of Australia's most beloved personalities, including Osher Günsberg, Yumi Stynes, Alexa Towersey (aka Action Alexa), and David Campbell. Best of all, you'll get a hands-on 30-day plan to help kick-start your sober journey.
