tamano: Nice book. I used to believe that drinking alcohol helps make good relationships, but we can do the same, or even better, without booze. Alcohol does not drive our conversations better. It's just our boredom threshold goes up. The author refers to Marie Kondo's words, "an attachment to the past or a fear of the future." Numbing our senses by boozing is the opposite of Spark Joy.

Smriti Sharma: I coukd really relate to this book and it has been my trusted ally on my sober curious journey that started a month ago. It helps keep me on track with a mix of anecdotal and factual information.

João Rodolfo de Assis Machado: Livro legal, te incentiva bastante a experimentar uma vida sóbrio, mas ao mesmo tempo repetitivo e lento.

Ashley: LOVED this book. I was already considering quitting drinking, had stumbled across this book in an article and ordered a copy for myself. Fast forward 3 days and my company holiday party is here, and I proceed to get pissed drunk and don't remember how I got home. The next day, hungover AF, feeling like sh*t, this book is delivered on my doorstep. I made a promise that would be the last hangover I would have, and my journey began with this book.

Other reviews bash the author for being too political but I disagree. Every person who is even thinking about getting this book is obviously doing some serious self reflection about their own personal drinking habits, and she goes into the importance of that in detail throughout the book. Over and over she narrates her own personal experiences with alcohol but emphasizes how important it is to discover your own reasons for why you might be considering dropping the bottle. She provides articles, scientific data, and personal experience to put things in perspective and in a way that's easy to understand, and more importantly, easy to RELATE to. I have more hope now than I ever did before that I'll be able to stick to sobriety, and I...

Kelly Beebe: Interesting but not always an easy read. I felt myself rereading parts as I was having a hard time following. I loved how it was very informative and talked about many examples of how to approach and even ventured a little (but not too far) into religion. But the politics in the end didn’t help the book at all, personally it would have been better without that.

Anaska Fischer: Si tienes un verdadero problema con el alcohol no es libro para ti. Francamente no aporta ayuda en caso de adicciónes. Si lo que buscas es motivación para dejar tus borracheras de fin de semana y trasformarte en un pijo hippy yoga vegan y presumir de tu ex vida viciosa, pues adelante.

Wys: I listen to Ruby's podcast Sober Curious (which I love) so naturally I was inclined to read her book on the subject. Ruby really opens up doors to changing one's perspective on the drunk normative culture that many of us live in. And she does it in humility and writing that brings introspection. If you're intrigued by the sober curious movement or questioning if booze is right for you - then this book is one for your bookshelf.

Kristin J.: What a guide. I highly recommend this book to anyone who's questioned/questioning/curious about their relationship with alcohol, whether it be in a sober moment realizing you can feel utterly grateful to be alive without outside influence or in the throes of a 48-72 hour hangover full of tears and existential crises (I didn't recognize I suffered that second part consciously until Ruby spelled it out). I found myself reflected throughout this book, sometimes in shocking and hilarious parallel, and it helps in recognizing just how connected and relatable we are to every other human in both triumph & joy and in our darker emotions and experiences. Ruby writes from compassionate place of common experience and comes across as a friend.

Ruby thoughtfully explores and shares data woven into a nakedly honest narrative with gentle humor and lack of judgment. She carefully examines every aspect of the human existence, especially in how we socialize, and the possible differences in how we might experience each without alcohol, acknowledging the moments where we might use alcohol to assist or protect ourselves, and where we might not be realizing how it can contribute to greater...
