S1 Ep 3: Moderation vs sobriety: FIGHT!
It’s time for some real talk as Ellie and Stephanie discuss the reasons we love getting on the booze, and why it’s become such a huge part of our culture - especially for women. We talk to Laura Willoughby, the founder of mindful drinking community Club Soda. We look at the tensions that can exist between non-drinkers and those trying to reduce, and some reasons to be cheerful about the way the UK’s attitude to booze is changing. Plus, we enjoy a Heated Debate as Stephanie and Laura discuss whether we should increase the price of alcohol, while Ellie sits in the corner googling which crisp whites are on 3 for 2 down at Saino’s. Also in this episode, we chat about the low or no alcohol choices that are now available - like Remedy Kombucha, who are kindly sponsoring this series. Their tasty cans of fizzy pop contain no sugar or sweeteners, just good stuff like antioxidants and organic acids. They are properly delicious as well, with flavours like Ginger Lemon, Mango Passion, and Wild Berry to choose from. You can get Remedy Kombucha from Morrisons, Tesco, Amazon, Ocado, Holland and Barrett, Starbucks, M&S and remedydrinks.com. #AD Sort Your Sh*t Out is produced by Laura Grimshaw (@lorlyjane) and the music is by John Thorn.
