We are put in one of two groups on this planet and you're either someone who can handle it or someone who can't, and I think the pandemic has moved a lot of people from one group to another, so we've got many more people in that group where they used to be able to handle it, but now they can't.
The pandemic has shaken up our lives in countless ways, but did you know it also led to a 25% increase in alcohol consumption? In this episode of 'Sober Awkward', Vic and Lucy dive into how lockdowns, boredom, and fear have impacted our drinking habits. Whether you found yourself reaching for the bottle more often or used the time to reevaluate your relationship with alcohol, this episode has something for you.
Vic and Lucy bring their signature humor and honesty to a topic that’s more relevant than ever. They chat about the signs that your drinking might be getting out of hand and offer practical tips for those looking to cut back or quit altogether. Vic shares her own experience of staying sober during lockdown, highlighting both the challenges and unexpected benefits. Meanwhile, Lucy gives us a glimpse into how her lockdown experience differed in Australia.
This episode isn’t just about the negatives; it also shines a light on how some people used the pandemic as a turning point to make positive changes in their lives. If you’re curious about whether your pandemic drinking habits need a second look, tune in for an engaging, relatable discussion that might just inspire you to make a change.
