Tipsy: A Woman’s Self-Guided Method for Managing Alcohol
Are you in control of your drinking, or is it in control of you? Willpower just isn’t enough.
Tipsy offers a practical and uplifting method for understanding your relationship with alcohol and making life changes fast. With a handy quiz to assess your emotional dependence, it provides step-by-step strategies for redesigning your lifestyle and nurturing self-love, health, energy, and vitality.
What sets Tipsy apart? A team of experts crafted its proven psychological method: Dr. Alicia Lamberghini-West, a clinical psychologist with 25 years of experience in women’s issues and addictions; Pilar Karlen Triplett, a certified Life and Health Coach specializing in total life transformation; and Dr. William Triplett, a family physician specializing in family medicine and urgent care, who brings a wealth of knowledge on alcohol-related issues. Drawing on case studies, research, professional insight, and firsthand experience, the authors of Tipsy have assembled all the tools you need to set yourself up for success as you interact with your family, friends, colleagues, and the rest of the world.
You’re not alone if you’ve tried to drink less but feel stuck. Millions of other women have fought the same battle. Whether your goal is to moderate your drinking or quit alcohol entirely, the authors of this insightful guide have created an effective method to set yourself up for success.
Tipsy is designed for women who don’t consider themselves alcoholics but are noticing that their relationship with alcohol has become … complicated. And for good reason.
Twenty-first-century women are under tremendous pressure—whether single, working or stay-at-home mothers, overworked professionals, women going through a divorce, job loss, death of a loved one, or an empty nest—and it’s socially acceptable to have a drink to cope with the daily challenges.
Social conditioning teaches women that alcohol is a vital ingredient to socializing, celebrating, and enjoying life. Drinking culture reinforces this idea by telling women, “Having a drink is your right. You earned it. You deserve it. You need it. Everything is better with a drink.”
Having “just one drink” can quickly become a lot more drinks, followed by headaches, hangovers, and long-term effects on relationships, finances, career, health, and weight.
Then, one day, you wake up and realize that your relationship with alcohol is showing one or two red flags, including:
• Social drinking that goes beyond moderate alcohol intake
• Drinking more than the number of drinks you intended
• Always finding a reason or occasion to drink
• When alcohol is an ever-present component of your life
• When drinking is the usual or only way you can socialize with others
• When drinking is the way you cope with problems, loneliness, or boredom
• When drinking is the way you celebrate every win
Whether your goal is to moderate your drinking or quit alcohol entirely, TIPSY can help you replace unwanted habits without turning into a miserable, sober person.
So, what do you have to lose? Grab your copy and find out just how joyful life can be again when you’re not always... Tipsy.

Tipsy caught my attention by the title. A Woman's Self-Guided Method for Managing Alcohol. I was skeptical and curious. 5 stars for the way this topic is presented. It is well researched with a lot of awareness around the social acceptance of women and drinking. Ultimately, the question is whether that drink is worth it and there are many situations addressed to help refrain from saying yes to that next drink.
I live in Las Vegas and alcohol is part of my social life, so this book took me on a journey of self-reflection. I did take away a few scenarios that gave me pause. I liked the way this was presented without guilt or shaming. The feminine drinking culture is a fascinating topic.
Thanks to the authors, NetGalley, and the publisher for an advanced copy.

I found this book to be interesting and took a couple of key takeaway before I pick up a drink.. I thought this book was more on suggestions to make yourself think if a drink is worth it or manage any issues around it but really I found the author is trying to convince me i was an alcoholic. - i swear im not!
overall, ive not read much like this specific book, thanks netgalley for the opportunity to read and review.
