Drinking Games: A Memoir by Sarah Levy
A sharp, hilarious, and unexpectedly tender ride through love, loss, and the messy rituals that help us feel less alone.
Sarah Levy didn’t set out to write a book about booze — she set out to survive her twenties. In Drinking Games, she turns barstools and college basements into a stage for a life lived loudly: the awkward hookups, the mixed-up friendships, the rituals that tether us to one another (and sometimes steer us off course). Part coming-of-age, part recovery road map, part love letter to the people who show up drunk at 2 a.m. and somehow stay sober in your memory, this memoir mixes whip-smart humor with raw honesty.
What to expect:
Electric scenes that loop through college parties, roof-top arguments, and that one disastrous wedding toast.
A narrator who’s equal parts sarcastic and sympathetic — a companion you’d invite to brunch but also let set the playlist.
Quiet, luminous moments about grief, growth, and learning how to be kinder to yourself without surrendering your sense of ridiculousness.
Sharp, intimate essays on how substances shape identity, intimacy, and the messy process of getting better.
Perfect for readers who loved David Sedaris’s self-awareness, Mindy Kaling’s warmth, or essays that make you laugh out loud and then, a few pages later, reach for a tissue.
Funny, fierce, and full of heart, Drinking Games is a memoir about the rituals we create to belong — and what happens when we decide to write new rules.
