LionHeart Talks… Alcohol and dependency
January is often a month where people reassess how they drink, after the festivities of Christmas and New Year or perhaps because they’re doing Dry January for health reasons or even for charity.
LionHeart host Melissa Gough-Rundle is joined by our ambassador Paddy Phillips to talk about alcohol and how it fits into people’s lives, from the habitual and social to the more problematic and unhealthy.
We talk about:
- Drinking as a part of British culture – but more specifically where it fits into the world of surveying
- Paddy’s experience of alcoholism and nine years being sober
- The reasons people might decide to go dry – whether that’s for January or for good
- The “sober-curious” industry that’s growing up around low-alcohol and no-alcohol
- Adjusting to a new normal
