Description:

"Sykes's amusing and depressing ancedotes about his 'research,' deepened by the occasional bout of introspection, make this addition to the recovery memoir genre distinctive."
--People

The former New York Post nightlife reporter for "Page Six" serves up his own dark secrets in this funny, biting, candid memoir of his long relationship with booze and his first intrepid steps toward recovery.
Tom Sykes always liked to drink. When he was a teenager he drank to escape the boredom of his uptight British boarding school, Eton, and his rapidly disintegrating family. Sykes also chronicles his experiences in the workforce as a substance-abusing young editor at GQ magazine in London, and describes what it was like, after the Post beckoned him to New York, for a reporter with a fondness for the bottle to cover the glamorous social scene in a city that never sleeps. As the excesses of the party scene that he documents threaten to become his downfall, he faces the ultimate question: Can he summon the strength to pick himself off the barroom floor and save his own life?

"Fast, funny and at times stupefyingly honest"
--British GQ

"A compulsive, salutary and entertaining story of social intoxication"
--British Glamour

"Unputdownable--as sad as it is funny. I admit to being Tom's sister, but it's still a brilliantly written book."
--Plum Sykes, author of The Debutante Divorcee and Bergdorf Blondes

"Take one bright lad, mix with two parts drink and tabloid journalism and you get a memoir that reads like a three-day bender, full of high-spirited humor and low-point misadventure. I enjoyed every page."
--Rick Marin, author of Cad: Confessions of a Toxic Bachelor

"A thrilling ride through the drug-and alcohol-soaked nightlife of London and New York. Tom Sykes's writing is funny, smart, and a dead-on account of addiction. What's more, unlike most confessional memoirs, it's all true."
--Toby Young, author of How to Lose Friends and Alienate People
