Ever thought you could have just as much fun with a cup of tea as you could with a glass of wine? In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, Lee Davy dives into a fascinating trend among Gen Z – swapping booze for tea. Lee shares his observations from a Starbucks in South Wales, where he witnessed a group of young women enjoying deep conversations and hearty laughter, all without a drop of alcohol.
This isn't just a one-off; it's part of a larger movement where younger generations are choosing connection and presence over intoxication. Lee discusses a 2023 study by Opinium, revealing that 42% of Gen Z prefers tea to relax, compared to just 23% who choose alcohol. He explores how this shift might have roots in the pandemic, with many young people increasing their tea consumption during lockdowns.
The episode also touches on the broader cultural changes around smoking and drinking, suggesting that attitudes towards alcohol might follow a similar path to those towards smoking. Lee's reflections are both humorous and poignant, challenging the notion that alcohol is necessary for socialising and joy. He encourages listeners to question their own habits and consider what life might look like without alcohol.
The episode is packed with thought-provoking questions and personal anecdotes, making it a must-listen for anyone curious about living an alcohol-free life. So, if you're wondering whether you need alcohol to feel connected and joyful, this episode might just have the answers you're looking for. Grab a cup of tea, sit back, and join Lee on this enlightening journey.
