I really do believe that it would not be, we would not be at this place if it were not for the sober movement, with all the different, you know, the whole sober curious movement and and just all of the, any drinks and all the things like making making- whether it's sobriety or just not drinking on a particular day- a much more normalized choice than it ever was.

It seems singles are leaning towards genuine connections and prioritizing their mental and physical health over a cocktail.
Lisa and Tawny don’t just talk stats; they offer up some fantastic zero-proof date ideas.

And yes, they even tackle the stigma surrounding sober sex and dating, with Tawny sharing insights from her essay in the anthology 'Sex and the Single Woman'.
To wrap it up, this episode is all about normalizing the choice not to drink on dates. Lisa and Tawny remind us that there are countless ways to connect with someone without alcohol, making sober dating not just possible but enjoyable.
