Alcohol-Free Beer: A Friend or Foe in Recovery?

At the moment, particularly with young people, there is a stigma attached to not drinking, in the same way as there is a stigma attached to having a problem with drinking.
Can alcohol-free beer be a safe choice for everyone, especially those on the road to recovery? In this episode of 'Sideways', Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst tackle this tricky topic with their usual blend of humor and insight. They dive into what alcohol-free beer actually is, why it might not be the best option for everyone, and how it ties back to a 1970's football manager from the North East.
Ever wondered if supermarkets were nudging you towards drinking from a young age? The hosts share eye-opening stories about how marketing strategies have influenced our drinking habits from as early as eleven years old. Beyond the facts and figures, Graham and Martin also explore the emotional side of choosing not to drink. They discuss the stigma attached to sobriety, which can sometimes feel as heavy as the stigma of having a drinking problem.
For those in recovery, the taste of alcohol-free beer can be a double-edged sword, potentially triggering old habits. The episode wraps up with a heartfelt reflection on the benefits of sobriety and how it can transform lives. Whether you're curious about alcohol-free beer or navigating your own recovery journey, this episode offers valuable insights and a touch of humor to keep things light.
