Years when drinking for a bit of 'fun' - soon turns into an uncontrollable habit. Universities seemed to be designed for exactly this.
Remember those university days when freedom felt like a double-edged sword? Vic and Hamish certainly do, and they're diving into the highs and lows of their uni years in this episode of 'Sober Awkward'. Picture this: moving out for the first time, minimal lectures, and a wallet full of borrowed cash. Sounds like a recipe for fun, right? But for many, including our hosts, it quickly spiraled into something much darker—uncontrollable drinking habits that took over their lives.
Vic and Hamish get real about the social pressures to drink, the guilt that follows a night of heavy partying, and the struggle to find balance. They reflect on how universities seem almost designed to encourage excessive drinking, and how easily 'fun' can turn into a harmful routine. But it's not all doom and gloom; they also share how students today are finding inspiring ways to enjoy uni life without the booze.
Expect candid stories that will make you laugh, cringe, and maybe even tear up a bit. From risky behaviors to the destructive habits they wish they'd avoided, Vic and Hamish lay it all out. They also offer valuable advice on prioritizing mental health and exploring alternative ways to have a blast without reaching for that next drink. So if you're navigating uni life or reflecting on your own wild years, this episode is a must-listen.
It's a raw, honest look at how alcohol can impact this pivotal time in life and how to make better choices moving forward.
