What if the way we think about drinking and adulthood is completely backward? In this episode, we’re unpacking the belief that having a drink makes us feel “grown-up”—and revealing why that might not be true at all. Is it really a mark of maturity to pour a glass of wine just because it’s Friday, or because the restaurant is chaotic, or because “we can”?

Or is that actually our inner toddler demanding instant gratification? We’ll explore how responding to cravings isn’t as sophisticated as it seems—and what actually gives us that powerful, in-control feeling of adulthood.

But here’s the twist: what if choosing water, or simply drinking with intention, is the most grown-up move of all? We’ll break down why true empowerment comes from making conscious decisions—whether that means drinking mindfully or skipping it altogether. If you’ve ever wondered whether alcohol is really the key to feeling like an adult, or if there’s a better way to own your choices, this episode is for you. Tune in and let’s rethink what it means to really be in charge.
