A smart, relatable deep dive into how alcohol affects your mental health - from sleep and anxiety to trauma and neurodivergence - by bestselling sober advocate Millie Gooch.

This isn't a book about sobriety. It's a book about your brain on booze.

In Hangxiety, bestselling author and founder of the Sober Girl Society, Millie Gooch, finally names what so many of us feel- Alcohol messes with our mental health far more than we've been led to believe.

Drawing on scientific research, real-life stories and expert insight, Millie reveals the full picture of alcohol's impact on the mind - from the science of hangxiety and sleep disruption to the way alcohol intensifies stress, trauma and neurodivergence.

This is not an abstinence-only message. It's a compassionate, empowering reframe for anyone wondering- Why do I feel like this the morning after? Why do I drink to quiet my brain - and why does it make it worse? How can I feel more like myself again?

You'll learn-

How alcohol hijacks your nervous system, emotions and stress response
Why women are disproportionately affected by alcohol-fuelled anxiety
The truth about alcohol's link to trauma, memory, neurodivergence and sleep
What science says about cutting down - and how your brain recovers

Whether you're sober, sober-curious or simply questioning your relationship with drinking, Hangxiety offers a judgement-free guide to understanding alcohol's emotional effects - and transforming your relationship to it.
