Episode Overview
- Price hikes won't make people stop drinking; they'll cut other expenses instead.
- Alcohol consumption is often an automatic response, not a financial decision.
- The real cost of alcohol includes health, energy, and peace of mind.
- 'Liquid Lie' makes people see alcohol as a necessity despite its lack of value.
- The solution is to realise that alcohol offers nothing worth paying for.
Nobody stops drinking alcohol because it’s too expensive. You just make it happen. Something else gets cut.
In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, Lee Davy tackles the controversial topic of Trump's proposed 200% tariff on European alcohol imports. With a blend of personal anecdotes and sharp insights, Lee argues that price hikes won't deter people from drinking. Instead, they'll cut other expenses to keep buying alcohol, underscoring the power of what he calls the 'Liquid Lie'.
Lee shares his own family's experience of prioritising alcohol over essential needs, painting a vivid picture of how deeply ingrained alcohol dependence can be. He passionately explains that the real cost of alcohol goes beyond money—it's about health, energy, and peace of mind. Lee's ultimate message is clear: the solution isn't making alcohol more expensive, but waking up to the reality that alcohol offers nothing of value.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with alcohol dependence or seeking to understand the true impact of drinking. By the end, you'll be questioning not just the price of your next drink, but its worth.
