An average woman with a socially acceptable binge drinking problem swaps glitter boobs for mum shorts in this hilarious and heartfelt memoir that will have you laughing, sometimes cringeing, and thinking (about drinking) as she charts her transition from party girl to professional party pooper.
Victoria Vanstone grew up in 1980s England, watching her extrovert parents host parties where the liquor flowed and the definition of responsible drinking was leaving a coaster over your beer when it was unattended.
She began drinking casually as a teenager, but this soon developed into something not-so-casual. As an adult her binge drinking was disguised as fun backpacker/party girl as she spent a decade travelling around the world, only coming awry with some awkward one-night-stands or the occasional lost fingertip.
Eventually Vicky found herself in Australia with a husband and a child on the way. But after sobering up for her first pregnancy, she soon returned to her binge-drinking ways, and had to grapple anew with the habits and beliefs that had gone unchecked since childhood. Did she really have a problem?
Incredibly funny and highly relatable, A Thousand Wasted Sundays is for anyone who has ever regretted that last drink. Perfect for fans of Rosie Waterland, Judith Lucy, Jennette McCurdy, Dolly Alderton and Adam Kay.
