Review Quotes

An ideal read for anyone tackling dry January--SUN

I loved this book. It's smart, insightful and relatable. It never judges you, or tells you off. Instead, it cheerfully - and humorously - invites you to reconsider your assumptions about alcohol. After I read it, for the first time ever, I truly believed that life with a bit less booze in it could be a lot more fun.'--Hannah Marriott, The Guardian

In Mindful Drinking, Rosamund has come up with the perfect concept - knowing when to enjoy yourself and then really enjoying the moment when you do. In the process of trying for a baby I've been employing this for a while now (I call it teehalfism, being teetotal, half the time). If anyone needs a great way to kickstart a healthier 2018, then Mindful Drinking is your first resolution.--Emily Phillips, Grazia and author of TRYING
