Can Alcohol Destroy Relationships?

Trigger Warning - In todays episode we mention Domestic Violence. In this emotional episode of Sober Awkward Vic and Hamish talk in detail about long term repercussions form short term lifestyles.  Vic tells Hamish about a very toxic relationship she found herself in many years ago, how her drinking made her vulnerable to being mistreated and how she used booze to numb out the fact her relationship wasn’t working.  Would his situation have happened if alcohol was out of the picture? So, aside from the regretful one-night stands, sloppy snogs in alleyways and whirlwind romances – What happens when you stay with someone when booze is the only thing you have in common? Is it ever a good idea to start a relationship when pissed? And what are the red flags to look out for? Find out why being sober is always the best way to enter a new relationship and why being sober means your love could last a lifetime, in this inspiring and hard-hitting episode.
