Daddy Drinks: Six Dads Trying to Get It Right―While Getting It Hilariously Wrong
Six dads share an instant messenger thread to share advice, tears, and dirty jokes as they help each other navigate the joyful insanity of fatherhood.
One very, very late night, in a state of panic, a new dad reaches out to five of his buddies via instant messenger to ask for advice on being a father. What results is a nonstop stream of consciousness as the Daddy Drinks daddies overshare, gripe, grouse, complain, and offer questionable guidance to one another on how to keep their kids alive and their marriages intact.
Daddy Drinks is the real transcript lifted from that messenger thread that shines a comedic light on the idea that almost any man can be a father—but almost no father knows what the hell he’s doing!
Daddy Drinks is a celebration of the ups and downs of raising a new baby—not just the fatigue and worry—but also the immense joys of newfound fatherhood.
Features a begrudging foreword from TV dad Patrick Duffy.

Funny and real. This is the kind of book you pick up and hope will bring you some laughter. It does that 100%. It also offers a look at some heartfelt panic that comes with being a new parent. The best part of the book is the recognition between friends that they have no clue what they're doing, but finding acceptance amongst one another as they do their best to navigate the poop/spit-up/urine/blood-soaked waters of fatherhood. You don't have to be a dad to enjoy the book. Hell, you don't even need to be a parent to like it! All you need is a heart and maybe a nice adult beverage you don't mind having come out your nose while you're laughing.
