David Boyle's Sobriety Journey: Politics, Beer, and Bob Hawke
That's pretty much how you win a popularity contest in Australia. If you can scull a beer, you're pretty much qualified to become the prime minister.
Picture this: David Boyle, comedian and former heavy drinker, takes on the world of politics with his signature humor. In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', Boyle dives into why he chooses not to vote in Australian elections. He reflects on the days of former Prime Minister Bob Hawke, a man known for his beer-chugging prowess, and contrasts it with today's politicians who try to appear relatable by drinking in public. Boyle's disdain for these attempts is palpable and hilarious.
But it's not all laughs; he also touches on the serious issue of drink driving and shares why he avoided getting a driver's license to steer clear of potential disasters. This episode is a rollercoaster of wit and wisdom, offering a fresh take on the intersection of sobriety, politics, and Australian culture. Whether you're navigating your own sobriety journey or just in for a good laugh, Boyle's unique perspective is both entertaining and thought-provoking.
