In this eye-opening episode of 'Sober Awkward', Vic and Hamish tackle the serious issue of drink driving. They explore the dangers of getting behind the wheel after consuming alcohol, even if it's just one drink. Vic shares a harrowing personal story from her early 20s when she ended up in jail for a night due to drink driving. Despite the shame and consequences, it wasn't enough to stop her drinking at the time.
Her story is a stark reminder of how alcohol can impair judgement and lead to life-altering mistakes. The duo also discusses how government guidelines on blood alcohol content can be confusing and often misleading, making it nearly impossible to know if you're over the limit without specialised equipment. Penny, a friend of Vic and Hamish, joins them to share her own experience with drink driving, adding another layer of real-life impact to the conversation.
They emphasise that even one drink can affect your ability to make smart choices, urging listeners to consider alternative ways to get home after drinking. With their signature blend of humour and honesty, Vic and Hamish make a compelling case for why abstaining from alcohol entirely is the safest option. If you're questioning your relationship with alcohol or looking for relatable stories about the pitfalls of drinking, this episode is a must-listen.
