Episode Overview
- Alcohol numbs your senses and detracts from the true essence of live sports.

Alcohol doesn't add to the experience. It pulls you away from it.
Have you ever wondered if alcohol truly enhances the football experience, or if it's just a myth we've all bought into? In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, Lee Davy takes a deep dive into the 'Football Booze Myth'. With Scotland considering lifting its long-standing alcohol ban at football matches, Lee challenges the belief that drinking adds value to the game.
Drawing from his own experiences attending matches both drunk and sober, he shares how alcohol actually detracts from the raw energy and excitement of live sports. Lee argues that alcohol numbs your senses, drains your wallet, and distances you from the true essence of the game. He also discusses the societal pressures that lead people to drink at sporting events, highlighting how it's more about fitting in and seeking approval than genuinely enjoying the experience.
Lee's personal anecdotes, including a poignant story about a client who relapsed before a Michael Bublé concert, illustrate the broader impact of alcohol on our lives and experiences. The episode encourages you to question your own drinking habits and consider attending your next match or concert fully present and alcohol-free. By doing so, you might find that the experience is far richer and more enjoyable than you ever imagined.
