One memorable moment is when they reflect on how 'drinking has different levels of difficulty depending on where you are', highlighting the complexities of maintaining sobriety in various social settings.
Their candid conversations cover a range of topics, from mid-life crises to the nuances of male friendship, all sprinkled with a good dose of humor. They also taste-test some low-alcohol beverages, providing practical tips for those looking to cut down on their drinking.
