Ever wondered why you never got the memo on the risks of drinking? Vic and Hamish, the hosts of Sober Awkward, have been there, done that, and lived to tell the tale. In this episode titled 'Why did we Never Learn?', they take a light-hearted yet honest look at how society is slowly shifting its view on alcohol. Vic and Hamish, once self-proclaimed party animals, reflect on their own journeys from binge drinking to sobriety.
They chat about how their lives have improved without alcohol – from feeling more energised to enjoying more time with family. But it’s not just personal stories here. The duo discusses broader societal changes, like the growing popularity of non-alcoholic drinks and how young people are drinking less than ever before. They even draw parallels with how attitudes towards smoking and veganism have evolved.
Through humorous anecdotes and candid conversations, Vic and Hamish explore the importance of education on alcohol's impact. Their banter is peppered with amusing asides, like imagining a sponge being handy for sweaty folds – yes, really! But beneath the humour lies a serious message: understanding the risks associated with alcohol is crucial. If you’re considering a life without booze or just want a good laugh, this episode offers both.
So, why not join Vic and Hamish for a class in sobriety that’s anything but dull?
