Sarah Rusbatch is a passionate grey area drinking coach on a mission. "What's grey area drinking?" I hear you ask. I asked exactly the same question. Her answer is fascinating and relates to where we fall on the continuum between identifying as a non-drinker through to an alcoholic. Sarah talks openly about her own turning point, why alcohol plays such a big role in anxiety, how alcohol impacts our ability to gain pleasure from the simple things in life, alcohol's impact on sleep, mental health, energy and motivation; and how many never get to know the version of themselves that doesn't drink. This conversation invites us all to think about our own relationship with alcohol, and tells us where to start if we want to make a change (plus fab alcohol free alternatives to try.

Sarah's alcohol free drink recommendations:

• Thomson and Scott Noughty
• Vinada sparkling chardonnay and rose
• Giesen savignon blanc
• lyres classico
• Gordons alcohol free gin
• Lyres Amalfi spritz
