Based on his experiences ordering non-alcoholic beers with his mates at the pub, actor Tom Holland saw a gap in the market. He wanted to help remove the stigma of ordering an NA beer and provide something that tasted great as well. Tom is adamant that living sober, one will never say, “I wish I had a drink last night.”

The first thing that struck me about this book was Ms. Grace’s claim that she has discovered a way to stop drinking permanently, with no cravings, sense of loss, or 12-step programs.

Let me emphasize the hilarious part of the irony of watching this show about addiction, which is that intermittently, you are laughing out loud. Just like all addicts, we are many things.
