In the grand scheme of things, this is unlikely to be any more than a footnote in the COVID-19 story, but for us, it's become part of our year-long experiment. The dynamic has shifted completely.
When the world shut down, Geoff and Matt from 'Wet and Dry' found themselves navigating a whole new set of challenges. This episode dives into their unique experience of maintaining sobriety during the COVID-19 lockdown. With pubs closed and social interactions limited, Geoff and Matt's year-long experiment of staying alcohol-free took an unexpected turn. Geoff, who has battled anxiety and often turned to alcohol in tough times, shares his struggles and triumphs in this new reality.
Meanwhile, Matt, who never drank at home, finds his resolve tested like never before. To add some warmth to their conversation, they invite Chris, the landlord of their local pub, The Rose & Crown, to join them via video call. Chris brings a fresh perspective on how pubs are coping with the closures and shares his hopes for the grand reopening party. Together, they discuss the impact of the pandemic on drinking habits, the pub industry, and their friendship.
This episode is a candid look at how two friends are adapting to life without alcohol in a world turned upside down.
