In this episode of Stop Over-Drinking and Start Living, I break down the 3 emotional phases of change that almost everyone experiences when trying to change their relationship with alcohol and why most women think they're failing when they're actually right on track. You'll learn why motivation and excitement don't last, why the middle phase of resistance and fatigue is where most people give up, and how real, lasting change happens through integration and identity shift, not willpower. This episode will help you: Understand why Dry January (or any break from alcohol) often feels harder toward the end Recognize whether you're in motivation, resistance, or integration right now Stop judging yourself for feeling tired, bored, or frustrated Learn why white-knuckling doesn't work and what actually does Build self-trust and emotional resilience without labels, shame, or rigid rules If you've ever thought “I can't wait for this to be over,” “Why is this suddenly so hard?” or “Maybe I'm just not cut out for this,” this episode will help you see what's really happening and why it matters. This conversation is for women who are sober curious, cutting back on alcohol, taking a break, or exploring a healthier relationship with drinking and with themselves. Ready for deeper support?

Join the conversation by letting us know what you think about the episode!"Dry January", "Sober Curious", "taking a break" - does any of this sound familiar? Many of us have questioned our relationship to alcohol, whether because of a rough morning after a night of debauchery, just because, or for any number of reasons. Our guest, Suzanne Warye, had her own reasons for stopping drinking. She writes about her experience in her new book The Sober Shift: A Moder-Day Guide to Living an Abundant Sober Life. In sharing her sober journey, Suzanne also provides helpful information and tools along with stories of other women's journeys with sobriety. Our conversation with Suzanne is hopeful, helpful, and full of compassion and humor. Where to find Suzanne Wayre:Instagram: @suzannewayre, @thesobermomlifePodcast: The Sober Mom LifeBook: The Sober ShiftSupport the showBe part of the conversation by sharing your thoughts about this episode, what you may have learned, how the conversation affected you.

Welcome back to the Bourbon Road! The long wait is officially over—Jim Shannon has returned from his Dry January hiatus, and he's ready to make up for lost time. Rejoining Todd Ritter in the Bourbon Road bar, the duo wastes no time getting back to business. To celebrate the return of whiskey to Jim's glass, they've lined up a heavy-hitting "review show" featuring four distinct expressions that span the spectrum of rye and bourbon, followed by a chaotic science experiment at the end. The tasting kicks off with a unique offering from the Castle & Key Experimental Series Rye. This release is finished in Vino de Naranja (Orange Wine) barrels and clocks in at a stout 115.8 proof. It immediately surprises the hosts with vivid notes of chocolate orange and cupcake icing, delivering a "pop rocks" sensation on the palate that balances sweetness with a spicy finish. Next, they shift gears to a historic brand with the Old Overholt 12-Year Rye. A 117-proof Monongahela-style rye, this bottle offers a stark contrast to the first pour. Jim and Todd discuss its dignified, "elderly" profile, noting deep flavors of leather, dried cranberry, and peppery spice. It sparks a conversation about how extra age transforms the typical bright rye profile into something much drier and more complex. Moving into bourbon territory, the guys crack open a bottle from the future—the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof B525. Sitting at 126.2 proof with an age statement of 11 years and 6 months, this release brings the heat and the flavor. The hosts uncover rich layers of brown sugar, molasses, and stewed plums, finishing with a distinct note of red hard candy cinnamon that lingers on the tongue. Finally, they cap off the individual tastings with the Old Forester 117 Series: Prohibition Era Still Proof. Inspired by the "distiller's holiday" of the prohibition era, this 130-proof powerhouse is surprisingly approachable. The guys dig into its dessert-like profile, finding heavy notes of cocoa powder, toasted marshmallow, and a s'mores-like quality that belies its high octane. To close out the show, Jim and Todd decide to mix things up—literally. They combine all four expressions into one glass for a "Boo Rye" blend. Does the combination of orange wine finish, aged rye, and barrel-proof bourbons create a disaster or a masterpiece? Tune in to hear their full tasting notes, their personal rankings of the four bottles, and to find out if the final blend was worth the risk. Cheers to being back on the road!

Today we have Jack. He is 45 years old and from Los Angeles, CA. He took his last drink of alcohol on December 31st, 2024.   This episode is brought to you by:   Café RE – THE social app for sober people. Sign up and get 10% off: Better Help   [02:47] Thoughts from Paul:   Last week Paul talked about the intentional phase of sobriety: choosing what you want to explore next and how you are going to fill the void left by alcohol.   Looking at Lewis and Clark, we know that no expedition goes according to plan. So this week we will talk about setbacks because they're part of life. Maybe it's relapse (or Field Research as we refer to it in RE). Maybe it's an injury that sidelines your new running routine or an illness that drains your energy for weeks. Or it may just be life being life.   The thing about setbacks – they don't erase your progress; they're just part of the terrain. If you drink again, you have not gone back to zero. You've gathered data. You know more now than you did before – about triggers, patterns, what works and what doesn't.   The goal here is not perfection, it's persistence. If you are facing a setback – big or small – ask yourself: what's the adjusted route? Not "should I give up?" but "how do I keep moving forward from here?"   [7:46] Paul introduces Jack:   Jack grew up in New Jersey but now lives in LA. He is a runner and currently training for a marathon. He loves movies and video games, and he is currently taking a fragrance development course and plans to build his own brand and launch his own fragrance in the future.   Growing up, Jack was always sensitive and shy kid. His parents drank and alcohol was just a regular part of life with wine at dinner and craft beer always around.   As a teenager, Jack drank to fit in at parties. Jack is gay and used alcohol to cancel out his anxiety and the awkwardness he felt socially. He says he didn't drink all the time and there were no real consequences, just teenage experimentation,   Jack drank on the weekends through college and enjoyed going out to gay clubs. After transferring from Savannah back to NYC, he finished school and got a job as a graphic designer. Drinking became a daily activity on his commutes and on weekends. Jack also began moonlighting as a DJ hosting parties in Manhattan and Brooklyn, something he always dreamed of doing when he was a teenager. This opened up a new world of nightlife for Jack.   Jack would drink all night while DJ'ing and go to work a few hours later. He had his first panic attack at work and while he knew that it was the hangover that triggered it but found that alcohol gave him instant relief. Blackouts began to happen regularly, and it dawned on Jack that he wasn't sure he was going to be able to stop drinking.   Jack became sober-curious in 2016. He started reading books and taking time off from drinking. Soon after this started his partner had an opportunity to go to grad school in Boston and Jack felt like this could be a clean slate.   After a few years alcohol-free, Jack felt like he could handle alcohol again. He planned to drink on his birthday. This opened the door for regression and within 6 months, the pandemic found Jack drinking just like he was before.   Jack's anxiety and panic attacks caused by his alcohol abuse were getting the best of him. After a rough weekend in Vegas, he drank through that holiday and knew that he couldn't continue to drink. He had heard about RE's Dry January course and burned the ships with his partner.   Jack said the course was exactly what he needed at the time and he knew within the first week that this is how he wants to live his life. He felt the pink cloud and euphoria from making the daily decision to be sober. He is an active member in Café RE, enjoys running, hiking, meditation and finding connections with community. Jack says he has gone from Passive Sobriety to Active Recovery.   Recovery Elevator You took the elevator down You got to take the stairs back up We can do this.   RE Instagram Sobriety Tracker iTunes  RE YouTube  

Dry January is over! Wet February is here! What was it like to get drunk in the Middle Ages? Let's investigate......Join the official WMG Discord server!! https://discord.gg/6GzvXdWX23

“Dry January” is upon us—the annual reset when people swear off alcohol for a month, whether for health, discipline, curiosity, or recovery. While some are opting to detox from alcohol during the month of January, something bigger is happening beneath the surface: an entire generation is quietly walking away from alcohol altogether.    A 2025 Gallup poll found that only 50% of young adults ages 18-34, reported they drink—down from 72% two decades prior. And yet, alcohol still sits at the center of modern social life—networking events, happy hours, girls' nights out, and dating culture. If you don't drink, you're expected to explain yourself.  In a culture that normalizes constant consumption, slipping into sipping habitually can be like a frog in slowly boiling water; you don't notice the danger until alcohol starts stealing your clarity, your relationships, your peace, and eventually your purpose.  This week's Problematic Women, Ericka Andersen, knows this song and dance all too well. She joins this week's episode to make the case for sobriety in a culture so hellbent against it. Andersen, the author of “Freely Sober: Rethinking Alcohol Through the Lens of Faith,” shares the story of her personal relationship with alcohol and how she leaned not only on facts, but also on her faith, to find her way out.    We also break down the latest trends and statistics on alcohol consumption and what that says about the state of our culture.  Follow us on Instagram for EXCLUSIVE bonus content and the chance to be featured in our episodes: https://www.instagram.com/problematicwomen/   Connect with our hosts on socials!   Elise McCue X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=EliseMcCue Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisemccueofficial/   Virginia Allen: X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=Virginia_Allen5 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/virginiaallenofficial/   Check out Top News in 10, hosted by The Daily Signal's Tony Kinnett: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjMHBev3NsoUpc2Pzfk0n89cXWBqQltHY Learn more about your ad choices.

A lot of people do Dry January hoping it will reset their relationship with alcohol, and then feel confused or discouraged when it doesn't. Dry January works, just not in the way most people think it does. If you've ever taken a 30, 90, or even year-long break from drinking, felt better, and then slowly slid back into the same patterns, this episode will explain why. We'll talk about why willpower works during the challenge but fails afterward, why the brain treats breaks as an exception instead of a turning point, and what actually has to change for sobriety to stick. Once you understand the difference between a pause and a rewire, a lot of self-blame starts to fall away.  E296-300 drinking motives and how problem drinking develops/escalates Work with me: Community & Meetings: Living a Sober Powered Life https://www.soberpowered.com/membership Sober coaching https://www.soberpowered.com/sober-coaching Course Pickled.

What if the future of wellness marketing is simply… not trying so hard? In this episode, the hosts explore how mission-driven CPG brands are moving beyond preachy messaging and into a new era of modern moderation, one rooted in balance, authenticity, and consumer trust.  Plus, we sit down with beverage industry veteran Kevin Klock, who's back in the game as the co-founder and CEO of moringa-infused brand Orange Toucan, and Keegan Fong, the founder of Woon, a culture-forward pantry brand inspired by a family's beloved Chinese restaurants.

Boop Me. – The team promotes an upcoming Miami meetup on February 18th at Casa La Rubia, encouraging founders to bring product samples. They also discuss how consumer attitudes around Dry January and wellness marketing are shifting away from rigid "all-or-nothing" messaging toward balance, moderation, and authenticity. The hosts shift to product samplings, including a new line of spirit-free canned cocktails, a brand of coffee beans with explosive packaging, beef tallow tortilla chips, BFY instant soups, protein shots, and corn snacks flavored with Vietnamese coffee. 19:58: Interview: Kevin Klock, Co-Founder & CEO, Orange Toucan – Kevin Klock shares the origins of Orange Toucan and his partnership with co-founders Rob Snell and Sandy Wheeler, creator of Bowflex.

Klock also discusses the brand's approach to consumer education through online channels and trusted influencers. 28:11: Interview: Keegan Fong, Founder, Woon – Keegan explains the meaning of "Woon" and how the brand took shape during the COVID pandemic.

At the best of times, alcohol makes us feel great — relaxed and gregarious, warm and fuzzy, happy and confident. But at the worst of times, it can morph into a serious problem, damaging our relationships, our health, and our lives as a whole.As we close out Dry January, a popular movement to abstain from drinking for a month, we explore our relationship with alcohol. Why we consume it, how it affects us, and when it's time to quit.We talk with surgeon and recovering alcoholic Charles Knowles about how booze affects our brains and health, and what finally pushed him to go sober for good; we hear about a trend known as “California sober,” and why so many people are embracing it; and we find out how zero-proof cocktail bars are helping some people socialize while sober. Charles Knowles was barely a teen when he discovered the power of alcohol to transform him from a shy outsider into the life of the party. But as he got older, and sank deeper into drinking, alcohol stopped being fun — and started affecting his health and his life. We talk with Knowles,  a surgeon and physician, about what makes some people more vulnerable to problematic drinking, how alcohol affects our brains, and how his life changed once he stopped drinking. Knowles' new book is “Why We Drink Too Much: The Impact of Alcohol on Our Bodies and Culture.” For a lot of former drinkers, "sobriety" means total abstinence — no alcohol, or any other substances that produce a similar buzz. But recently, a new, more permissive version of sobriety has been gaining popularity: "California sober." It involves embracing cannabis and psychedelics as a means of avoiding alcohol and hard drugs. Reporter Andrew Stelzer tracks the origins of this phenomenon, why some people find it helpful, and what researchers have to say about it.. One of the hardest parts about sobriety for a lot of people is dealing with the social impact. Not only is alcohol a social lubricant — it's often at the center of social events themselves. But recently, some entrepreneurs have been creating alternatives in the form of zero-proof cocktail bars. Pulse reporter Alan Yu visits Philadelphia's Bar Palmina to find out who goes there, and why.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're talking about a little bit of everything. We start with Austin's first real snow day (at least since we've lived here lol) and how snow days feel wildly different as a kid vs. as a parent. We talk Dry January, whether it's rude to ask someone why they don't drink, and a truly wild babysitting story involving lime-a-ritas (the liability alone???). Then it's parenting and pregnancy updates: how every family develops its own language (how Tate became “BUBBERS”), why we're capping naps at 16 months, the “unzipping the sleep sack” phase, what's helped vs. not helped with pregnancy restless leg, and the differences between boy vs. girl pregnancies (cravings, skin, fatigue, emotions, pregnancy brain). We wrap with the fun stuff as always: Harrison's cookbook era, a great welcome-to-the-neighborhood gift idea, our ongoing couch and dining table saga, Dad's first attempt at pigtails, Bicker of the Week, and two Things We DMed Each Other that left us speechless.

How France negotiates drug prices and the impact of US President Donald Trump's pressure to raise them. The Paris bar celebrating sobriety as more people embrace Dry January. And the radioactive legacy of nuclear testing in French Polynesia. Saying he wants to lower the price of medication in the United States, President Donald Trump has been putting pressure on French President Emmanuel Macron to raise the cost of an unspecified pill in France. But it's the French public health system, not Macron, that negotiates with drug companies – keeping prices for patients in check. Sociologist Theo Bourgeron believes that Trump's demand is not about improving care, but pressuring countries to weaken price controls and boost US pharmaceutical profits. (Listen @0') More than a third of the French claim they're not drinking this month to mark Dry January. It's part of a wider trend of falling alcohol consumption in France, particularly among young adults. But in a country famed for its wine and apéro culture, sobriety can be seen as irritating and "un-French". We visit Le Social Bar in Paris, which has gone alcohol-free for January to show you don't need to be tipsy to have a good time. Author Claire Touzard talks about her journey towards sobriety and why alcohol, far from encouraging conviviality, can end up excluding people. And journalist Vincent Edin argues that while France is becoming slightly more tolerant of non-drinkers, successive governments still struggle to recognise that alcoholism is a problem. (Listen @20'15'') France conducted its final nuclear test on 27 January 1996, ending a programme that has left a lasting legacy of health problems in French Polynesia, the archipelago in the South Pacific that for 30 years was France's nuclear testing ground. Hinamoeura Morgant-Cross, a member of the French Polynesian parliament, says the consequences of the testing have been "really traumatic for our people". (Listen @13'50'') Episode mixed by Cecile Pompeani. Spotlight on France is a podcast from Radio France International.

Bonjour and welcome to another episode of The Bourbon Road! With Jim still observing Dry January, Todd Ritter is flying solo in the host chair—but he's certainly not drinking alone. To help him navigate a deep dive into the world of French Oak finishing, Todd has recruited two heavy hitters from the local whiskey scene: returning guest Amsey "The Alec Baldwin of The Bourbon Road" Wenning and David Sandlin, proprietor of The House of Commons bar in Frankfort. The trio embarks on a flavorful journey to explore how French Oak influence changes the profile of both bourbon and rye. They kick things off with the "OG" of the category: Maker's Mark 46. This 94-proof classic sparks a lively debate about what exactly makes "French Vanilla" french (spoiler: it might involve hazelnuts) and leads to stories about dipping bottles at the Loretto distillery. Next up is Blue Note Crossroads from Memphis, Tennessee. Sourced from Kentucky and finished with toasted French oak, this 100-proof bourbon brings notes of toasted marshmallow and oat milk to the table. The guys analyze its creamy mouthfeel and debate whether the fruit notes lean more toward apricot or nectarine. The third pour takes us to Lexington for the RD1 French Oak Finished Bourbon. Clocking in at 101 proof, this high-rye bourbon utilizes a unique wood "chain" method sourced from the five great forests of central France. The group discovers complex layers of chocolate, almond extract, and a nostalgic "fruit roll-up" note that takes them back to childhood. Finally, they cap off the tasting with a pour that's becoming harder to find: Pursuit United Rye Oak Collection. This 108-proof blend of Sagamore and Bardstown rye is finished with Sherry French Revere Oak. It challenges the group with a polarizing nose of dill versus mint, before settling into a palate of tropical fruit and old-school medicinal candy like horehound and clove. Throughout the episode, Todd, Amsey, and David geek out on production methods—from staves to wood chains—and discuss whether rye or bourbon stands up better to the bold flavors of French Oak. Tune in to hear their full tasting notes and find out how they ranked these four distinct expressions!

Episode 20 of Matt Likes Beer finds Matt deep into Dry January 2026, reflecting on health goals, pre-recorded episodes, and the realities of balancing beer enthusiasm with personal wellness. The beer in the spotlight is Dollar Slice, a hazy IPA from Other Half Brewing in Brooklyn, New York—chosen initially for its pizza-inspired label and unexpected name. Matt shares his prior experience with Other Half, noting that while he's enjoyed their IPAs before, this particular beer was a classic case of label buying—a marketing reality many craft beer fans know well. A deeper look into the brewery's catalog reveals a diverse lineup beyond IPAs, including lagers, sours, and spontaneous fermentation beers, even though hop-forward styles clearly dominate their production. During the tasting, Matt addresses an important judging dilemma: while the can simply says “India Pale Ale,” further research—and the beer's unmistakable appearance—confirm it should be evaluated as a 21C Hazy IPA. Using BJCP guidelines, he breaks down the beer's opaque yellow appearance, exceptional head retention, intense citrus and tropical fruit aroma, and luxuriously soft, creamy mouthfeel. Flavor-wise, Dollar Slice delivers vibrant orange zest, pineapple, and juice-forward hop character from Citra and Galaxy hops, earning high marks across the board. A slight lingering off-flavor prevents a near-perfect score, but the beer still lands at an impressive 41 out of 50, firmly in the Excellent range. Matt emphasizes that without this minor issue—possibly isolated to the can or palate—this could easily have been a mid-40s standout. With no one-star reviews to read, the episode closes on a thoughtful soapbox moment about Untappd, consumer-driven beer trends, and the disconnect that can occur when breweries resist making the styles people actually want to drink. Matt balances critique with humility, acknowledging the complexity of running a brewery while reaffirming his belief that variety, responsiveness, and drinker feedback matter.

The final episode of Dry January is here, and just like last year, we're ending it with an honest conversation instead of a story. During a break from writing petty crime, Trevin spent time reflecting on something he was raised to avoid: politics. Growing up in a polite, Midwestern family, he learned early that talking about politics was seen as divisive, impolite, and unnecessary — a rule meant to keep the peace. But over time, that silence came with consequences. That reflection turned into two personal essays — We Don't Talk About Politics and Why We Don't Talk About Politics — exploring how avoidance shapes families, relationships, identity, and power. The pieces examine how silence can make people vulnerable to misinformation, how overcomplication and busyness discourage engagement, and how institutions benefit when everyday people are taught that understanding politics is “for someone smarter.” In this episode, Trevin and Amanda sit down to unpack those ideas together. They talk about Amanda's early experiences with politics, how each of them was taught to engage (or disengage), and how avoiding difficult conversations doesn't make problems disappear — it just lets someone else speak for you. They also explore how this silence affects more than just families. When any subject is treated as shameful or off-limits — politics, money, masculinity, mental health — people are left unprepared to protect themselves, their relationships, and their futures. This isn't a debate episode. It's a conversation about communication, power, and what happens when “keeping the peace” costs us our voices. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, unqualified, or afraid to speak up because you assumed everyone else had it figured out — this one's for you. Let's talk about politics. https://medium.com/@fiestamaiden/we-dont-talk-about-politics-856dc0a076d1 https://medium.com/@fiestamaiden/why-we-dont-talk-about-politics-e2686d89dba5 Join our Facebook Group: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/livelaughlarcenydoomedcrew⁠⁠⁠ For ad-free episodes and lots of other bonus content, join our Patreon! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/LiveLaughLarceny⁠⁠⁠ Check out our website: ⁠⁠⁠Here⁠⁠⁠  Follow us on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠Here⁠⁠⁠  Follow us on Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠Here⁠⁠⁠  Follow us on TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠Here⁠⁠⁠  Follow us on Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠Here⁠⁠⁠   If you have a crime you'd like to hear on our show OR have a personal petty story, email us at ⁠⁠⁠livelaughlarceny@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠ or send us a DM on any of our socials!

What really happens in your brain when you drink alcohol — and what are the long-term effects over a lifetime? In this episode of Health Matters, host Courtney Allison sits down with Dr. Hugh Cahill, a neurologist at NewYork-Presbyterian the One and Columbia, to break down the science behind alcohol's impact on brain health.They explore how alcohol affects neurotransmitters to create feelings of relaxation and euphoria, why it can impair memory, coordination, and judgment, and how even moderate drinking is linked to increase risk of brain shrinkage, vascular damage, mood disorders, and dementia. Dr. Cahill also explains the cumulative nature of alcohol's effects and shares practical, evidence-based ways to protect your brain as you age — highlighting the powerful role of exercise, cardiovascular health, nutrition, sleep, and reducing alcohol intake.Whether you're curious about Dry January, worried about memory and aging, or simply want to make informed choices about your health, this conversation offers clear, expert insight into how your habits today shape your brain tomorrow.Key Topics CoveredHow alcohol affects neurotransmitters (glutamate, GABA, dopamine, endorphins)Why alcohol causes relaxation, lowered inhibition, and impaired coordinationLong-term effects: brain atrophy, neuron loss, memory impairmentAlcohol as a neurotoxinLinks between alcohol and:Cumulative, lifelong impact of drinking—even at low to moderate levelsRole of exercise in promoting neurogenesis and brain resilienceImportance of cardiovascular health, vitamins (B1, B12), and metabolic healthLimited evidence that puzzles or brain games prevent cognitive declinePractical brain-health strategies:Takeaway MessageBrain health is shaped by long-term habits. Because alcohol's effects are cumulative and even moderate use is linked to structural and vascular brain changes, reducing intake — along with exercising and managing cardiovascular risk factors—can meaningfully protect cognitive function and quality of life as we age.Expert GuestDr. Hugh Cahill is an M.D./Ph.D.-trained general neurologist providing comprehensive care for patients with a broad range of neurological conditions at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia. Dr. Cahill sees individuals with headaches, seizures, strokes, numbness, weakness, memory changes, and other common neurological concerns. Dr. Cahill as both a clinician and scientist supports an evidence-based approach to diagnosis and treatment, with an emphasis on careful evaluation and clear communication. For more health and wellness news, visit NewYork-Presbyterian's Health Matters website.

This week, Cole and Bryan head straight to Islay for a dark, smoky, sherry-soaked treat — Kilchoman Loch Gorm (2021), an Islay Scotch fully matured in sherry butts and packed with bold flavor.   Before diving into the pour, the boys catch up on Bryan's trip to Universal, Cole's recent bourbon finds, and the very real (and very relatable) dream of having your kid be the favorite at daycare and school. They also dig into the background of sherry cask maturation and what makes Islay Scotch so uniquely intense.   On Whiskey World News, Bryan covers some wild headlines — from Godzilla-branded PBRs to Whiskey Del Bac shaking things up by removing Frontera from their lineup.   And for “What Whiskey Would You Choose?”, Bryan checks the room with a timely question: Did you do Dry January this year?   Smoky, sweet, and full of great conversation — pour something good and enjoy the ride.

It's Monday, Let's raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It's time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let's begin Exploring the Wine Glass!  The statistics all state the wine consumption is decreasing. According to Statista, wine consumption has dropped 6.75% since 2019 and the International Organization of Vine and Wine says that wine consumption has dropped 2.6% just this last year. In fact, global wine consumption has reached its lowest point since 1996. Enter the world of de-alcoholized wine.  Fact.MR has predicted that non-alcohol wine will increase its  market substantially in the next ten years; from 2.57 billion to 6.94 billion dollars. And in the forefront of this massive trend is Giesen Wines in New Zealand. I had the pleasure to sit down with Duncan Shouler, Director of Innovation to discuss the process and their goals for this line.    While you are listening, it would be greatly appreciated if you could take one minute to subscribe, rate and review.

This week on Pour Minds, Lex P and Drea Nicole kick off the new year with a solo episode, just the two of them, catching up and getting honest as they step into 2026. The girls talk lifestyle shifts, Dry January (or the attempt at it), fitness journeys, and the pressure that comes with trying to “reset” every new year. From debating cutting back on drinking to unpacking personal habits they're actively working through, this episode is all about growth without pretending perfection exists. Lex and Drea also dive into relationships and boundaries—why more women are choosing not to live with men, how cleanliness and personal space can make or break a relationship, and the difference between standards and control. They touch on beauty trends, filler culture, and the quiet insecurity that can come with chasing an ever-changing look online. Things take a deeper turn as they discuss friendship fallouts, family betrayal, letting go of people who no longer serve you, and whether everything really deserves closure. The conversation wraps with candid talk about aging, sex, libido myths, flakiness, accountability, and why communication still matters, even when you're tired.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Every January, the same thing happens. Millions of people quietly stop drinking…Celebrities post their “reset” routines…Brands suddenly talk about “mindful consumption”…And then February hits, and we all pretend none of it mattered. In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast, we break down the cultural hypocrisy around alcohol and why Dry January has become the only socially acceptable time to admit drinking might be an issue. We unpack: Why alcohol is the only substance you have to justify not using How celebrity culture glamorizes drinking, until it doesn't What declining beer sales and bankrupt alcohol brands are quietly telling us Why “moderation” sounds responsible but rarely matches real life And how Dry January accidentally exposes a truth no one wants to say out loud This isn't about shame.It's about honesty, culture, and calling out the weird double standards we've all accepted. If you've ever wondered why quitting drinking feels harder socially than drinking every weekend…If you've ever done Dry January and thought, “Why don't I feel like going back?”Or if you're just tired of being gaslit by alcohol culture.

What's Your Superpower?In this episode of CockTales: Dirty Discussions, Kiki and Medinah tap into reflection, purpose, and grown-woman clarity as they unpack the question: what's your real superpower? From unexpected “God wink” moments to conversations about confidence, imposter syndrome, and walking into rooms knowing you belong, this episode is about recognizing your value without needing permission.The ladies open up about how their strengths show up in work, relationships, and community — and why sometimes it takes a stranger, a producer, or a quiet moment to remind you that you're exactly where you're supposed to be. They also talk about commitment in this season of life, learning how to say no without guilt, setting boundaries that actually protect your peace, and why burnout isn't a badge of honor.In Weird Sex, the conversation turns to curiosity, threesomes, and ethical non-monogamy — breaking down how to talk about fantasies honestly, why curiosity doesn't equal dissatisfaction, and how consent and communication make all the difference.As always, things take a turn into real life: fostering chaotic cats, stepping back from dating, learning new skills, choosing rest, and staying grounded when life feels overwhelming. If you've been questioning your path, feeling stuck, or wondering whether you're doing enough, this episode is a reminder that your presence, your voice, and your energy matter more than you think.Sometimes your superpower isn't loud — it's just consistent.
