Send us Fan MailA mezcal brand can be more than a label and a flavour profile. We're joined by Alejandra Flores, president and owner of Mayu Mezcal, and her story hits on culture, craft, and a mission that reaches back to Oaxaca and forward to real community impact. She built Mayu to honour her Indigenous grandmother, a woman who never learned to read or write yet still became a fearless businesswoman and lifelong inspiration.We get practical about what separates authentic mezcal from marketing: why organic mezcal certification matters, what “artisanal mezcal” actually means, and how espadin agave and production choices shape a spirit you sip slowly rather than shoot. Alejandra also breaks down mezcal vs tequila, from the regions and agave varieties to the traditional serving ritual with orange slices and sal de chapulín, the famous grasshopper salt from Oaxacan cuisine.If you're curious about entrepreneurship in the spirits industry, this conversation goes behind the curtain on licensing, distributors, and the relationship driven grind of getting bottles into bars, restaurants, casinos, and retailers like Total Wine. Alejandra shares what it's like to be one of the few women mezcaleras, how she keeps momentum through slow growth, and why her long game includes a foundation to support elderly people and stray animals in Oaxaca.

I have never reviewed or even written about a memoir before. For me, the question has always been how I can critique a view of someone's life and history. It's not a genre I have even grazed near because I just didn't know how to handle it. That was until The Problem Drinker, which offered me a unique approach. I had access to the subject and pitched that we have a drink to have a real conversation instead of a typical interview. Describing The Problem Drinker isn't an easy task because it feels like a snapshot of who a human being is. Kyle is brutally honest about himself, his world, and everything in it. There is a level of authenticity to how he writes this debut. Kyle is a problem drinker, not someone who is struggling with drinking. In the book, it's treated like a pastime or just a natural part of his life. But all around it is turmoil, heartache, and life itself. Between large life events, Kyle opens up his own rib cage to let the reader understand him a bit better. I have been lucky enough to befriend Kyle after being introduced to him by his girlfriend, CJ Leede, who is a character in the book. I have interviewed and spoken to CJ many times, so going from her book Headlights straight into this was a unique experience. You can feel Kyle, as a character in her book, in the most loving homage to her partner. But in The Problem Drinker, you get a real look at what love is. How love is formed in ordinary and everyday life, while never feeling mundane. The way Kyle writes about the people he loves is why this book is going to stick with me for some time. This conversation ranges from music to food to drinking stories, and everything in between that makes us human. It is an open and honest conversation that works as a companion piece to the incredible book. Make sure you check out the short film as well! About The Problem Drinker Kyle Kouri's debut non-fiction collection is full of 'whiskey courage' staring at the abyss of family, writing rejection, relationships, and his own drinking. From hijinks at AWP to hustling in the movie business, Kouri bridges the gap in drama between indie and horror. At turns hilarious and heartbreaking, The Problem Drinker is the story of an artist living with another artist, yearning to move the needle in his career, amidst a sea of personal tragedies and comedies. If F. Scott Fitzgerald had one foot in the 2020s horror scene, that's the spirit of Kouri's caustic and big-hearted, lush and refreshingly candid debut. About Kyle Kouri Kyle Kouri is an award-winning actor, writer, filmmaker, and producer. He received his MFA in Fiction from Columbia University, where he served as the online arts editor for the Columbia Journal. He is the co-founder of Slashtag Cinema, a film production company.

This week on Sober Awkward, Vic chats to James Swanwick about high-functioning drinking, success, pressure and the growing movement of people choosing to live alcohol free — not because they've completely fallen apart, but because they simply feel better without it.James is an Australian stop drinking expert, author, investor, entrepreneur and former SportsCenter anchor on ESPN. He is the creator of stop drinking organisation, Alcohol Free Lifestyle, which helps business owners and executives finally break free from alcohol without AA, rehab or willpower. Together, Vic and James unpack the myth that alcohol problems only affect people at “rock bottom” and explore why high achievers often struggle silently for years. They chat about identity, pride, social pressure, parenting, masculinity, success and why being outwardly functional can actually make it harder to admit something isn't working.They also explore a really interesting question:Can giving up alcohol sometimes be less about “having a problem”… and more about choosing a different lifestyle entirely?Plus there's chat about celebrity alcohol brands, the rise of the alcohol-free movement, Gen Z turning away from booze and why many people are beginning to realise that alcohol may be taking far more than it gives.This episode is for anyone who's ever wondered:“Do I actually need to wait for things to get worse before I make a change?”Enjoy!Find James' work here - IG: https://www.instagram.com/jamesswanwick/FB: https://web.facebook.com/AlcoholFreeLifestylehttps://web.facebook.com/JamesSwanwickOfficialYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@AlcoholFreeLifestylehttps://www.youtube.com/@JamesSwanwickTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jamesswanwickSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5253hMZWPlEWj6AVodbkC7Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/alcohol-free-lifestyle/id1518416850X: https://x.com/jamesswanwickAFL Website: https://alcoholfreelifestyle.com/

Barry, Abigail, and special guest Nick Martino discuss Ozomatli by Ozomatli and sample Sole of the Sea (collaboration with Rockport Brewing Company in Rockport, Massachusetts), Drip, and girl, so confusing from Lost Shoe Brewing and Roasting Company in Marlborough, Massachusetts.Nick is now a four-timer, having previously appeared on our second Christmas bonus episode, Bonus: A Christmas Day's Eve! Original Songs by Our Friends, and both of our live episodes: Bonus: LIVE from Stand Up! Pod Jam 2024: Pops on Hops Friend Exchange (New York Funk Exchange and Able Baker Brewing) and Bonus: LIVE from Stand Up! Pod Jam 2025: Neon Desert Challenge (the latter of which he also produced for us!). Give his previous appearances some love; they are a lot of fun!Nick, in part, chose to assign us this album because of Abigail's beef with He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince as displayed in Jukebox: He's the Drinker, We're the Talkers (DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince and Evil Genius Beer Company). Coincidentally, this album reminded Abigail of a different Derek Hummel, Sr., Jukebox selection, Make Yourself by Incubus, as discussed in Jukebox: Make Your Flight (Incubus and Hell 'n Blazes Brewing Co.).Both DJ Cut Chemist and MC Chali 2na left Ozomatli after this album because their other group, Jurassic 5, was blowing up.We found a great blog with additional information about and clips of Nick's favorite “trumpet battle” between Wynton Marsalis and Trombone Shorty at the House of Blues in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 2009. Evidently, trumpet battles have been going on for over 100 years!Watch Chali 2na and New Orleans-based jazz band Naughty Professor perform Cut Chemist Suite live at the Culture Room in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in 2018!Oh look, more self-promotion! O Le Le names Edie Brickell, whom we have previously reviewed (see Using Honeybees for the Meads [Edie Brickell & New Bohemians and B. Nektar]). We could think of at least one other time an artist we reviewed explicitly names an artist we'd previously reviewed: Crash Test Dummies (see Pops Shuffled His Flight [Crash Test Dummies and Toll Road Brewing Company]) names David Bryne (see Byrned-Again [David Byrne and Lincoln & South Brewing Company]) in When I Go Out with Artists. These two latter albums are both among Abigail's top five favorite albums we've ever reviewed, as revealed in our Pops on Hops Hot 100 Special!Super Bowl Sundae contains a sample that sounds very similar to a sample previously discussed on the podcast: Hip Hop Dancer's Theme by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince samples Peter Piper by Run-D.M.C., which sampled Take Me to the Mardi Gras by Bob James.Abigail plugged The Manifesto (feat. Trueno and Proof) off of Gorillaz' recently released The Mountain, a song featuring both Indian influence and a Spanish-language rapper!girl, so confusing was brewed with the 2026 Pink Boots hop blend from Yakima Chief Hops. Sales of this hop blend benefit the Pink Boots Society, which supports women and non-binary individuals in the fermented and alcoholic beverage industry!Up next… I've Got My Own Album to Do by Ronnie WoodJingles are by our friend Pete Coe.Visit Anosmia Awareness for more information on Barry's condition.Follow Barry or Abigail on Untappd to see what we're drinking when we're not on mic!Leave us a rating or a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky | YouTube | Substack | Website | Email us | Virtual Jukebox | Beer Media Group

Adam helps a client step into a non-drinking identity so that they don't need or want to drink alcohol.

What is a normal drinker? This is a question most people ask themselves on their journey to sobriety. The truth is that how we drink is shaped by our peers and culture. To learn more, visit the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠show notes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Een koninklijk halli hallo! Terwijl de meeste grote drinkers zich wanen in een zee van oranje en de kelen smeren met wat zij het liefste doen ('drinken is ook topsport he'), laven wij ons aan de vele vragen die ons gestuurd zijn. Welke topsporter had je willen zijn? En: welke bijnaam in de wielersport is het mooist? Dat, een koffie zuchtcollege, en voetballers die reclame maken: het komt allemaal voorbij in deze fonkelnieuwe aflevering!

In this deeply personal episode of What Would They Say, we step into Megan's real-time experiment - one that questions not just alcohol, but the habits we rarely examine. This is not a rock-bottom story. There are no dramatic turning points or life-altering consequences. Instead, it's the story of a “grey area” drinker - someone whose relationship with alcohol looks normal on the surface, but no longer feels aligned underneath. Through an honest reflection on habits, social conditioning, and the subtle creep of routine, we explore how alcohol can shift from celebration to default. This episode unpacks how something that once felt like a choice can quietly become a pattern that no longer serves. Blending personal storytelling with science, we dive into the research behind alcohol's impact on the brain and body, especially for women, and why moderation doesn't work for everyone. Inspired by voices like Sarah Rusbatch, Jolene Park, Catherine Grey and Andrew Huberman, this episode reframes the narrative. At its core, this is a “scientific experiment”: what happens when alcohol is removed entirely? What replaces it? And what becomes possible in its absence? This episode isn't about telling you what to do. It's about normalising a different choice. One rooted in presence, self-trust, and the possibility that life might feel richer, clearer, and more intentional on the other side.

Ever wondered how a three-year-old drinking homemade moonshine earned a lifelong nickname? Meet Shane “Booger” Williams, the preacher known across North Georgia as Booger Williams. In this heartfelt conversation, he shares his wild childhood story, dramatic salvation at age 30, and the moment God called him to preach—despite running from it for two and a half years. A powerful reminder that small mountain churches are still changing lives.

Biographical Bytes from Bala: Laurel Hill West Stories #054 for mid-March, 2026   Sophie Hutchinson Drinker (1888-1967) came from one Philadelphia blueblood family and married into another. She and her husband Harry led musical singing parties in their Merion home for 30 years. When Sophie started a woman's choir, she was frustrated in her search for music by, for, and about women. She made it her life's work to discover how woman had been shut out from their early roles in religion, medicine, and music. Her 1948 book Music & Women is a feminist classic. The Sophie Drinker Institute of Bremen Germany carries on women's music studies in her name and tradition. 

In this episode, Mike and Lillie tackle one of the most confusing questions in recovery: “Am I just a problem drinker, or am I an alcoholic?” Through Mike's personal story and their honest conversation as a couple, they explore the early warning signs he minimized, how his drinking impacted their relationships, and what healthy support and boundaries look like today. This episode offers hope and practical guidance for both the person who drinks and the loved one who's desperate to help, showing that recovery—and healing for the whole family—is truly possible.

You turn the whole episode of your podcast upside down and try a bourbon 11 different ways to tell people how they should drink it! Now, and I mean this sincerely, I'm starting to think that there may be more ways than we've previously considered...should we change it up next time? I think we might need to. Anyway, how about a beer that we're liking this week as well as checking out ANOTHER bourbon, but this time it's one that we've had questions about it the past?

Gray Area Drinking, Binge Drinking, Alcoholism, Alcohol Use Disorder or Problem Drinking? How Do You Know When Alcohol Is the Issue. In this episode of the Sober Motivation Podcast, Brad sits down with Shaz to share a raw and honest story of alcohol's role, blackouts, secret drinking, and pandemic-era daily drinking. This conversation is for anyone who doesn't see themselves as fitting with a label, but still feels uneasy about their relationship with alcohol. Shaz walks through how alcohol shifted from social use to binge drinking, how gray area drinking quietly escalated, and how secrecy, rationalization, and comparison kept him stuck for years. You'll hear why waiting for a diagnosis or label delayed real change—and how sobriety, connection, and community support became the turning point. If you're sober curious, questioning your drinking, or wondering whether life would feel better without alcohol, this conversation offers clarity, validation, and a path forward—without shame or judgment.

Thoughts from the Ice-Drinker's Studio: Essays on China and the World (Penguin Classics, 2023) brings together a newly translated selection of pre-eminent public intellectual Liang Qichao's most influential writings, spanning the many phases of his life: his early political awakening in the final decades of the Qing dynasty, his exile in Japan after the failed 1898 reforms, and his later reflections in the 1920s as China struggled to imagine a modern future. Translated by Peter Zarrow, the essays collected here show Liang wrestling — sometimes urgently, sometimes with less certainty — with questions of citizenship, self-government, national identity, freedom of thought, women's rights, democracy, and what it meant for China to pursue “progress.” Together, they offer a vivid portrait of a thinker trying to reinvent not only political institutions but also reimagine a new kind of society. This translation will appeal to readers of modern Chinese history, intellectual history, and anyone curious about how Chinese thinkers grappled with modernization and the challenge of national reinvention. It is also wonderfully suited for classroom use. The translations are precise, highly readable, and accompanied by clear but unobtrusive notes, making Liang's complex ideas accessible to students encountering him for the first time. For those interested in reading more of Liang's writings, his work can be accessed here, here, and here. And anyone who is interested in reading more intellectual history about the late Qing should definitely seek out one of Zarrow's earlier books: After Empire: The Conceptual Transformation of the Chinese State, 1885-1924 (SUP, 2012).

Stonewell (the D stands for Dinosaur) discuss Drinker, a dinosaur that's actually now called Nanosaurus and was absorbed into that genus alongside Othnielosaurus and Laosaurus but hey, “Drinker” will get more clicks so here it is! We live in a capitalistic tar pit that we can never escape, folks. From the Late Jurassic, this 9-foot neornithischian had an interesting taxonomical history as our paleontological knowledge of it increased over the decades, and there is absolutely nothing else interesting about it.

Today, I'm sharing a conversation that first aired on the Sunnyside podcast—home of the #1 mindful drinking app. I sat down with co-founder and host Mike Hardenbrook to talk about how to change your thinking about drinking so that you can trust yourself with alcohol again. We cover my own personal journey about why I overcorrected my heavy daily drinking with three years of full sobriety, and how I arrived in the balanced, less-is-more life I live now. You'll hear the exact mental shifts that I teach my high-achieving female clients who want to cut their drinking by up to 80% without shame, rules or life long commitments. Whether you're sober-curious or simply tired of promising yourself that you're going to change and then not following through, this conversation will change how you think about both the problem and the solution.  Click here to BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL if you're ready to fully commit to your personal growth and do the work to get emotionally sober. Side effects include an 80 percent reduction in drinking. Want daily updates from me?

You're the man people rely on, strong, successful, always in control. But alcohol? It's quietly stealing your presence, your edge, and the respect you've worked so hard to earn. This is a woman's message to men who drink too much. An invitation to come home to the man your family admires. The one your kids trust. The one your wife misses. You don't need to hit rock bottom to make a change. You just need to remember who you really are.   Download my FREE guide: The Alcohol Freedom Formula For Over 30s Entrepreneurs & High Performers: https://social.alcoholfreelifestyle.com/podcast ★ - Learn more about Project 90: www.alcoholfreelifestyle.com/Project90 ★ - (Accountability & Support) Speak verbally to a certified Alcohol-Free Lifestyle coach to see if, or how, we could support you having a better relationship with alcohol: https://www.alcoholfreelifestyle.com/schedule ★ - The wait is over – My new book “CLEAR” is now available.

Parents Who Think host Danusia Malina-Derben joins Clare Pooley in an unflinching conversation about motherhood, sobriety, and the silent unraveling that so often hides behind ‘wine o'clock'.” Together, Clare and Danusia speak frankly about alcohol as a socially sanctioned drug, the seductive myths around moderation, and the messy, non-linear journey of quitting.

In this debate podcast featuring return guest James Swanwick (you can check out our first show together here), you'll get to hear an honest, science-backed exploration of alcohol’s true impact on your body, brain, and quality of life—plus what it really takes to build a vibrant, alcohol-free lifestyle. James Swanwick is an Australian-American entrepreneur who helps high performers and casual drinkers reduce or quit alcohol without feeling deprived. He is a former SportsCenter anchor on ESPN and the creator and founder of Project 90, a neuroscience-based process scientifically proven to reduce drinking by 98%. James specifically supports high achievers, including entrepreneurs, executives, physicians, attorneys, and professional athletes. He’s also an investor, speaker, and author of the book, CLEAR: The Only Neuroscience-Based Approach for High Achievers to Finally Break Free From Alcohol Without Willpower, Rehab or AA. I push back on some of James’ views, especially around moderation. We get into the nuances of drinking, discussing hormesis, genetics, culture, and whether small amounts of alcohol can play a role in a well-rounded, intentional lifestyle. It’s a respectful, spirited conversation that doesn’t aim to tell you what to do—but gives you the clarity and information to make the best decision for your own health and goals. Whether you’re sober-curious, optimizing your performance, or just reevaluating your habits, this episode offers practical tools, real-world insight, and a fresh perspective on one of the most normalized substances in our culture.

Welcome (or welcome back!) to the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast with your host, Molly Watts, coming to you from salubrious Oregon!In this final episode for Alcohol Awareness Month, Molly gets personal and shares the three major ways her drinking habits — and more importantly, her thinking about alcohol — have evolved over the years.This isn't just about counting drinks or cutting back to a “magical low number.” It's about creating peace with alcohol and living intentionally. Molly dives into how shifting from automatic drinking to intentional, mindful drinking has been the cornerstone of her transformation. She also introduces her brand-new mini-program, Just One More, designed to help you rewire the "binge brain" for vacations, weekends, and parties where overdrinking used to sneak in.If you're looking for inspiration and actionable strategies to rethink your relationship with alcohol, you won't want to miss this episode.Key Takeaways:Intentionality over Autopilot: Molly explains how she shifted from drinking mindlessly to making conscious, purposeful decisions about alcohol.Alcohol as an Option, Not a Solution: She no longer uses alcohol to solve problems or enhance experiences — vacations and celebrations are about the moments, not the drinks.Freedom Through Planning: Rather than feeling restrictive, planning her alcohol consumption ahead of time actually brings freedom and protects her long-term goals.New Program Launch! Get the inside scoop on the upcoming mini-program, Just One More, launching May 6th — perfect for anyone who struggles with binge drinking during "special occasions."Resources Mentioned:Just One MoreWebsite: www.mollywatts.comInstagram: @alcoholminimalistFacebook Group: Alcohol Minimalists: Change Your Alcohol HabitsLow risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more.

In this episode kicking off Alcohol Awareness Month, Molly Watts dives into the subtleties of emotional drinking, helping listeners uncover unconscious patterns and build emotional resilience to disrupt them. Drawing inspiration from an episode by Corinne Crabtree on emotional eating, Molly makes powerful parallels to alcohol habits many listeners may not even recognize as emotionally driven.What You'll Learn in This Episode:A clear definition of emotional drinking—and why it may not look like you expect.How seemingly harmless habits, like a nightly glass of wine, might actually reflect emotional needs.Why emotional drinking is more about mental load and reward beliefs than willpower.How subtle daily rituals become signals of self-worth and stress relief.The truth about shame cycles, secrecy, and the false binary of being either “good” or “bad” with alcohol.The connection between alcohol and emotional regulation, and how to begin shifting the cycle.Key Concepts Discussed:Emotional drinking doesn't require drama—if you're using alcohol to relax, cope, or mark the end of the day, emotions are involved.Emotional resilience is foundational—not just for changing your drinking, but also for improving your relationship with yourself.Common beliefs like “I deserve this” or “this is my time” are tied to deeper unmet needs.The parallels between secret eating and emotional drinking: both serve as a way to signal “I matter.”Mentioned in This Episode:Sunnyside App – A science-backed tool Molly recommends that focuses on:Pre-commitment and intention settingConscious interference through trackingPositive reinforcement with coaching support Try Sunnyside Free for 15 DaysLosing 100 Pounds with Corinne PodcastPowerful Quote:“If you're pouring a drink to shift emotional gears—whether to relax, reward, or disconnect—you are emotionally drinking.

Do you ever wish you could just be a "normal" drinker? Do you fantasize that if you could fix your drinking, you'd finally feel okay about yourself?   The truth is, becoming a normal drinker isn't really about the alcohol.
