Numbers 1,2,3 - The first three issues are put together in a bumper issue! Number one was written in 24 hours, number 2 has tales of driving lessons and breaking my headphones, and number 3 contains thoughts about losing my keys and much more (as if you could possibly want any more!).

Number 4 - The Gloucestershire Flood issue - In 2007 Gloucestershire flooded and the water was cut off for about 5 days. Here is my diary of that time. Includes a stunning acrostic poem and other observations of people being smelly/unwashed/not being able to drink cups of tea.

Number 5 - This is A3 and folds into A6 - clever, huh? More hand-written tales about collecting coppers and being on the bus.

Number 6 - My thoughts on music after a workmate laughed at my listening to Kimya Dawson.

Number 7 - Contains more adventures in Tesco and the day I discovered the Native American pan pipe band who play in the High Street at the weekend eating Greggs pasties on a bench.

Number 8 - I Went To The London 'Zine Symposium And All I Got Was This Lousy Fanzine - Celebrating passing my driving test and questioning Libby's first aid skills in Neighbours.

Number 9 - A split issue with You Can't Say No To Hope - NONE OF THESE LEFT! SORRY!

Number 10 - My nan died and I thought I saw a ghost of her a few months later. This one's a bit sadder.

Number 11 - The Jeffrey Lewis Issue - I cut and stuck pictures and added Jeffrey Lewis lyrics to them in speech bubbles.

Number 12 - Tales of going to my parent's house for Christmas and going to Edinburgh last August and not eating any haggis.

Number 13 - Being Tall Is Hard - WORK IN PROGRESS! All about being taller than average.

Corndog Distro, "Drink The Sunshine is the paper equivalent of a dearly loved but very drunken friend rambling at 3am at a party where everyone else has passed out. And of course, as this is a zine then that can only be a good thing! Not to say zinester Tom is a drunkard though, I think he's a teacher and everyone knows they are the very embodiment of sobriety made human. Aren't they?"

Eddie at Try This At Home Blog, "Drink the Sunshine #9/ You Can’t Say No to Hope # 11 split zine. This is an excellent match for a split zine, combining two titles that don’t fit the more obvious zine conventions. Drink the Sunshine. Not many zines are consistently laugh-out-loud funny. First in a field of few is Drink the Sunshine. Fans will find the usual trademark elements. They aren’t so much regular features as recurring quirks. There are the usual eavesdroppings overheard in pubs, the distinctive drawings, moments of shame in supermarkets, and an off-kilter fixation on the local and domestic. An obsession with the small and ordinary and an enjoyment of mild embarrassment recollected in tranquillity doesn’t sound like anything to write home about, but this is so entertaining it made me miss my stop on the bus."

Jon at You Can't Say No To Hope, "Review - Drink The Sunshine 7 & 8. Two new issues of Drink The Sunshine from Tom here, and back to the wonderful A6 handwritten format of earlier issues. I honestly think that this is in my top three 'zines ever now along with Jellybrain (RIP) and Gadgie (RIP? Marv?), seriously, it's that good. If you don't know it already it's just stories and tales of what's happening in Tom's life written in a beautifully humorous deadpan delivery with some funny doodles to go with them. It just really touches my sense of humour and i love it. "Standing in the line at the supermarket checkout (not tesco but somerfield this time) I farted. At the time I was holding a pack of nine toilet rolls. The people behind me must have thought i had major problems. The fact that i'm writing about it probably means that i have major problems." There's plans afoot for me and Tom to do a split 'zine soon, whoo!"
