Drink Less Be More: How to Have a Great Night and Life! Without Getting Wasted

Do you consistently find yourself waking up after a night out with a pounding head? Struggling to remember the details? And then swearing to yourself-yet again-that this was absolutely, positively the last time you will ever drink like that?

If this scenario resonates with you, then this book might be exactly what you need. Plenty of excellent resources exist about alcohol sobriety and abstinence-but this is not one of them. This guide is for the modern woman who wants to have a good time, have a drink (or maybe not drink at all)...but not cross the line.

In Drink Less, Be More, author Caitlin Padgett uses humor and grace to relay her own personal struggles in this arena-and offers practical advice and strategies to empower you to live a life of moderation.

For fans of Gabrielle Bernstein, Kris Carr, and Elizabeth Gilbert, this extraordinary guide provides the wisdom and insight you need to learn to use alcohol safely, let loose on a great night out, and still present your absolute best self to the world.
