Lee Davy, the host of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, takes you on a journey through the tangled web of societal norms surrounding the legal drinking age. In this eye-opening episode titled 'Why Do We Wait to Drink? Because the Lie Starts Early', Lee examines how waiting until a certain age to drink is less about protection and more about programming.
The episode challenges the notion that reaching the legal drinking age is a rite of passage into adulthood, suggesting instead that it's a cleverly disguised entry into alcohol dependence. Lee shares his own experiences growing up in the UK, where turning 18 felt like stepping into manhood, not because of the drink itself, but because of the perceived status it brought.
The conversation digs deep into how culture elevates alcohol to a sacred status, making it seem like a ticket to maturity and acceptance. Lee invites listeners to question these beliefs and consider how early exposure to these ideas shapes one's identity long before they take their first sip. You'll find yourself pondering whether alcohol has been framed as a reward rather than recognising its potential dangers.
With candid reflections and challenging questions, this episode encourages you to rethink the role alcohol plays in your life and in society. Tune in for an engaging discussion that might just change your perspective on what it truly means to 'earn' your place in adulthood.
