Men traditionally don't feel comfortable showing how they feel, because in the past they were not supposed to like alcohol.
Why do so many men bottle up their feelings and turn to alcohol instead of opening up? In this episode of 'Sober Awkward', Vic and Hamish tackle this tough question head-on. With their signature blend of humor and honesty, they dig into the reasons why men often struggle with vulnerability. They explore how societal expectations around masculinity can make it hard for men to express their emotions, leading many to use alcohol as a crutch.
The effects on mental health and suicide rates are alarming, and the hosts don’t shy away from these harsh realities. Vic and Hamish share their own experiences and thoughts on how we can support each other better. They emphasize the importance of having those deep, meaningful conversations with friends that can be truly life-saving.
If you’re curious about how to navigate these tricky waters or want to understand the role of alcohol in emotional lives better, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in for a heartfelt discussion that’s both eye-opening and supportive.
