Why do we drink?
And sometimes drink too much?

Anna Donaghey, former advertising exec turned alcohol mindset coach, stopped drinking six years ago when she realised that it was no longer enhancing her life.

With the trademark lightness and non-judgement that define her as a coach, she invites us in this book to take our drinking out of the secret cupboard and have a clear-eyed look at it. This isn't a how-to book, it's a what-if book, intended simply to help us have an honest conversation with ourselves and think about what a life with less alcohol in it could look like.

Drawing on some of the remarkable interviews with celebrities and experts from her podcast and peppered with anecdotes from her personal experience of addiction, What are You Thirsty For? shares key insights and tools that can help get us to a place where drinking is not just a habit, or reflex, but something we do: consciously, on our own terms; perhaps not every night; and checking in every now and then to make sure that it is something that truly makes us happy.

It's about learning to love how to drink less.
