“Traveling sober adds one or several layers of complexity to trips that often feature alcohol. Non-drinkers generally know how to navigate these challenges, but drinkers tend to be woefully unprepared to recognize and respect those challenges. Written for the non-drinker, the e-book should also be read by those who enjoy alcohol, to make travel enjoyable for all. Tips, hints, wisdom of personal experience, strategies and encouragement can all be found in the comprehensive book.”
