Summary
Why is alcohol the only drug we have to justify not taking? If you want 101 hilarious ways to say I quit drinking alcohol without admitting you might be an alcoholic, then keep reading....
Have you ever been asked, “why don’t you drink alcohol?” and felt like you were being judged as if you were an alien from outer space? The concept of asking someone why they don’t want the night to end in complete chaos and to write off the next three days broke, depressed, and puffy-skinned seems crazy–yet alcohol is the only drug we have to justify not taking!
Maybe this sounds familiar: You’re on a night out, slaying life sober, and some moron asks you, “Oh–so why don’t you drink alcohol?” So naturally, you feel obliged to tell them why. But you’re not quite at that stage of oversharing every reason why you don’t want to add liquid chaos back into your life, and you struggle, so you say you’re on anti-biotics.
What if there was an empowering little book that contained 101 ways to say "I quit drinking alcohol" that could diffuse any awkward responses?
In her first quit lit book, Sienna Green shares her unusual story of going alcohol-free, and how being asked why she doesn’t drink alcohol for the millionth time motivated her to write 101 Ways to Say I Quit Drinking Alcohol.
If you are newly sober, an old timer, or sober curious, Why Don't You Drink Alcohol? will provide an unexpected, but highly amusing twist on traditional sobriety books. Some hilarious, some serious, and some designed to kill a conversation in a heartbeat.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A good book with good narration. Great topic to read about even if you haven't quit and would like to or at least cut back.

Funny and Useful
I live with an alcoholic who is 50 days sober, and has to deal with people asking her all the time why she doesn't drink. She get's a bit irritated with having to explain to people that she is a recovering alcoholic all the time. This book has given us both some excellent, funny ways to address this question. I highly recommend it to anyone who is in recovery.

Funny Quips
The first part is a collection of comical reflections from a recovering alcoholic. When you're in a situation where everyone else is drinking, your soberness can oftentimes make the people around you feel awkward about drinking in the presence of your soberness. For someone like me who's not a recovering alcoholic, I couldn't relate to the first few parts. But I do typically choose not to drink and this has sometimes resulted in a similar awkwardness. It gets old giving people permission to drink without you and/or having to explain yourself. So for anyone out there that has been forced to defend their decision, this book is for you! These are funny, witty quips and you're bound to find at least one that you can add to your arsenal. I think these could probably work well for eating preferences too! I had a good laugh and I think you might too, even if you're not a drinker.

Nobody wants to be awkward
When we realize we have a problem with alcohol and we have the courage to stop drinking it, it can be difficult for family and friends to understand where we are coming from. That's why we need help to have these conversations. For that reason I recommend checking out this book to get some suggestions.

very informative
This is an essential piece of literature. Those who are seeking sobriety in a nation so intoxicated that even its government could not say no to alcohol during lockdown will find this book to be an informative and helpful read. Despite the fact that the cover could, people should not be discouraged from reading any content that assists them in maintaining their sobriety. It is a wonderful book to aid with the difficult task of saying "No thank you!" to 'helping' friends and family members who are themselves trapped in the pitcher plant that is our culture's relationship with alcohol. There are several publications available that may assist in protecting oneself from something that is effectively poison. This is an excellent manual for actual use.
