P&T Knitwear is pleased to welcome Sarah Levy to celebrate her new book, Drinking Games: A Memoir, with a talk, audience Q&A, and book signing. 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. After the talk, Sarah will sign copies of her books.

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.

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.

Praise for Drinking Games: A Memoir

“Bracing and insightful...offers equal measures of introspection and hope. This emotional excavation will inspire anyone navigating addiction.” — Publishers Weekly

“Poignant. [DRINKING GAMES] reads like an intimate conversation between friends.” — Kirkus

“Candid, straightforward, and full of introspection. Levy successfully articulates the emotional roller coaster of being drunk and being sober through important life moments and shows her readers how fulfilling a sober life can be.” — Booklist

“With raw honesty...Levy’s path to sobriety becomes a lens through which she reflects on drinking culture and what it means to be sober within that...in her vulnerability and willingness to share the highs and lows of her relationship with alcohol, Levy invites readers to consider what might not be serving them at this moment — and what might be possible on the other side of whatever habit is holding them back from true freedom.” — Shelf Awareness
