Drinking Games

A Memoir

By: Sarah Levy

Narrated by: Sarah Levy

This program is read by the author.

Part memoir and part social critique, Drinking Games is about how one woman drank and lived— and how, for her, the last drink was just the beginning.

On paper, Sarah Levy’s life was on track. She was 28, living in New York City, working a great job, and socializing every weekend. But Sarah had a secret: her relationship with alcohol was becoming toxic. And only she could save herself.

Drinking Games explores the role alcohol has in our formative years, and what it means to opt out of a culture completely enmeshed in drinking. It’s an examination of what our short-term choices about alcohol do to our long-term selves and how they challenge our ability to be vulnerable enough to discover what we really want in life.

Candid and dynamic, this book speaks to the all-consuming cycle of working hard, playing harder, and trying to look perfect while you’re at it. Sarah takes us by the hand through her personal journey with blackouts, dating, relationships, wellness culture, startups, social media, friendship, and self-discovery.

In this intimate and darkly funny memoir, she stumbles through her twenties, explores the impact alcohol has on relationships and identity, and shows us how life’s messiest moments can end up being the most profound.

Loved every bit of it.

Inspiring, witty, relatable. Absolutely loved it! It was so well-written and performed perfectly. Highly recommend!

Loved it

I thoroughly enjoyed this: Digestible, relative, to the point, honest, healing. I found it relatable and where I couldn’t connect the experiences to my own, the author did a great job providing the context of addictive thinking that I needed in an authoritative and relatable way.

A needed voice and a MUST READ

I felt so much of myself in this memoir, despite not having the same struggles. Sarah beautifully captured what it is like as a 20-something woman today in a new unique and needed way. I shared this book with all my friends after reading it.

Beautiful and well told

This book is not just about sobriety but how life throws twists and turns. Wonderfully written and beautifully told.

Great listen!

Timeline of events is a bit tough to follow otherwise I loved everything about the book
