Recenzii

A WATERSTONES BEST FOOD AND DRINK BOOK OF 2022
Likeable and highly readable ... comic and insightful
Honest, funny and full of strategies on how to moderate your drinking, Chiles is genuinely passionate about his pints and the need to enjoy them without ever coming across as preachy - a fine line many have failed to tread ... sage ... funny and touching
A fascinating read
An easy read mixture of wit and wisdom ... should be read by all who drink more than the limit
A humorous and heartfelt exploration of the pleasures of drinking in moderation
A great read
Chiles's self-deprecation may be stage-managed, but the underlying modesty is real. Sitting alongside his propensity to admit his ignorance is an attractive willingness to listen to anyone, of any age or social station, who might tell him something meaningful ... This is why Adrian Chiles is beautiful

Descriere

I've raced off to games hours early to give me a chance to drink a lot of beer in a relatively short time ... the craic is good, usually. Sometimes it isn't, Occasionally it's all rather boring. But I always make the effort. Why?
