Writers Live - Jill Stark introduces her new book, High Sobriety
19th Feb '13 @ Berkelouw Mona Vale


Default_jill_stark

Alcohol had dominated Jill Stark's social life ever since she had her first sip of beer, at age 13. She thought nothing could curb her love of big nights and then came the hangover that changed everything. She made the decision to give up alcohol and so started a tumultuous year "on the wagon".

High Sobriety  is a lively memoir as well as an exploration of Australia's love affair with alcohol from alcopop-swigging teens who drink to fit-in, to beer-swilling blokes in a sporting culture backed by booze, Jill Stark tracks the history of this national obsession.

Jill Stark is a senior writer with The Sunday Age. In 2008 and 2011 she won the National Drug and Alcohol Award for excellence in media reporting.

You are invited to meet her when she introduces her funny, moving and insightful exploration of why we drink and what happens when we turn off the tap.
