Adrian Chiles Interview - The Good Drinker

In this week’s podcast, we chat to radio and TV presenter Adrian Chiles about his new book "The Good Drinker - How I Learned to Love Drinking Less" which is very much in tune with the Thinking Drinkers' mantra "Drink Less Drink Better" .

Amusing, insightful and compelling yet never preachy, Adrian's book explores both the benefits and difficulties of drinking in moderation after years of seriously committed consumption.

Adrian didn’t think he had a drinking problem, until he realised he was regularly putting away 100 units of alcohol a week.

When specialists told him something had to change, he had a choice to make - stop drinking completely or cut right down.

He chose the latter and embarked on a fascinating quest to find the good drinker within...

Adrian Chiles is a writer, television and radio presenter and world-weary West Bromwich Albion fan.

He has been a presenter on BBC Radio 5 Live since the day it started in 1994 and his TV presenter work includes Working Lunch, Match of the Day 2 and The Apprentice: You're Fired.

He recently released a documentary called "Drinkers Like Me", in which he explored his relationship with alcohol and decided to cut down.
