I have the sort of personality where I want to know something for sure, and one of the things I want to know is if I'm drinking too much, and the way for me to measure that was to see if I could stop.
Imagine hitting pause on your drinking habits just as you turn 40. That's exactly what Geoff did, much to the initial dismay of his friend Matt. In this episode of 'Wet and Dry', the duo invites Bruce Daisley, a workplace culture expert and close friend of Matt's, to weigh in on their journey. Bruce, known for his engaging talks and his book 'The Joy of Work', brings a fresh perspective to the conversation about sobriety, especially during lockdown.
He even makes a strong case for why Geoff should abandon his year-long experiment. Will Geoff cave in? Tune in to find out. The trio dives into the role of pubs in social life, the cliquish cultures they foster, and how drinking impacts our memories. They also tackle the concept of 'sunk cost' in alcohol consumption—ever felt like you had to finish that drink because you paid for it? It's a raw and honest discussion that's both entertaining and thought-provoking.
Whether you're curious about going dry or just enjoy hearing candid chats about life's challenges, this episode offers a mix of humor, insight, and real-life struggles. Grab your favorite non-alcoholic drink and join Geoff, Matt, and Bruce for a conversation that might just change how you see your next pint.
