Breaking Down the Myths of Abnormal Drinking with Veronica Valli and Chip Somers

You're talking about tens and tens of thousands of people a year dying because of alcohol, and the alcohol industry in this country... have been incredibly slow to respond. The safe, suggested healthy limits are too low and certainly I think there are an awful lot of people in this country.
Ever wondered why alcohol is often seen as a harmless part of our lives? In this episode of 'Soberful', hosts Veronica Valli and Chip Somers dive into the sneaky tactics of the alcohol industry that have led many to believe just that. With nearly five decades of sobriety between them, Veronica and Chip are here to set the record straight.
They challenge the widespread myths and assumptions that have normalized abnormal drinking habits, from casual consumption to the binge drinking culture rampant in colleges. The hosts discuss the dangerous consequences of these beliefs and how advertising has played a major role in shaping our views on alcohol. They also highlight the benefits of living an alcohol-free life and the importance of building a supportive sober community.
If you're questioning your relationship with alcohol or seeking validation for your sober journey, this episode is packed with eye-opening discussions and heartfelt advice.
