Dry Drunk: Navigating Sobriety Beyond Just Quitting Alcohol

I think we're in a new place where it's more socially acceptable for you to be drinking like a non-alcoholic beer to then to be drinking like a seltzer. And there's also like people who have issues with kombucha. It's like fucking mouthwash has alcohol in it.
What does it mean to be a 'dry drunk'? In this episode of Seltzer Squad, hosts Kate Zander and Jes Valentine dive into this often misunderstood concept. They explore the idea that quitting alcohol is just the first step in a much larger journey towards sobriety. Kate and Jes share their personal stories, shedding light on the emotional and psychological challenges that come with staying sober.
They also touch on the evolving social acceptance of non-alcoholic drinks, highlighting how these options can make social situations easier for those in recovery. One memorable moment is when Kate observes, 'I think we're in a new place where it's more socially acceptable for you to be drinking like a non-alcoholic beer than to be drinking like a seltzer'. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the complex terrain of sobriety, offering both practical advice and heartfelt support.
