About this product

Product Information

This bestselling memoir from a seasoned New York City reporter is "a vivid report of a journey to the edge of self-destruction" ( New York Times ). As a child during the Depression and World War II, Pete Hamill learned early that drinking was an essential part of being a man, inseparable from the rituals of celebration, mourning, friendship, romance, and religion. Only later did he discover its ability to destroy any writer's most valuable tools: clarity, consciousness, memory. In A Drinking Life , Hamill explains how alcohol slowly became a part of his life, and how he ultimately left it behind. Along the way, he summons the mood of an America that is gone forever, with the bittersweet fondness of a lifelong New Yorker. "Magnificent. A Drinking Life is about growing up and growing old, working and trying to work, within the culture of drink." -- Boston Globe

Not helpful, just boring.
This book is terrible. It's so boring and whiney, I could not even get more than halfway through it. I've heard that this book can help people with drinking problems, but I don't know how, I felt nothing but boredom. He complains about every aspect of his life. This book is definitely not for everyone.
