Sometimes, like what I've just been doing before I came on here with you, I just want to lie on the sofa and watch below deck on bravo, drink chamomile tea, and that's okay, it really is.
Ever wondered if 'Wine O'Clock' is more myth than reality? Janey Lee Grace sits down with Lotta Dann, better known as Mrs D, to unpack this very question. Lotta, the author of 'Mrs D is Going Without', shares insights from her new book 'The Wine O'Clock Myth', diving into the culture of women and drinking, and the pressures of 'mummy wine culture'.
The conversation is refreshingly candid, exploring how societal norms shape our relationship with alcohol and the often overlooked struggles of sobriety. Janey and Lotta don't just stop at personal anecdotes; they delve into the broader implications of alcohol marketing and its impact on consumers. Lotta emphasizes the importance of awareness and education, even for those who consider themselves moderate drinkers.
The episode also features a spotlight on Sir James 101, a new alcohol-free cocktail brand, adding a fun twist to your sober lifestyle.
