A bit more from the Dri/Kit website:

We’ve spent a lot of time surrounded by friends and family, talking into the late hours of the night. While we love a party, we don’t love the string of forgotten conversations and impossible mornings they seem to create. We’re done with the groggy regrets.

Do we really need to prove that we had fun with a hangover?

If you’ve asked yourself the same question, you’re in the right place. We’re on a journey to introduce you to the best dry drinks on the market—and show you how to mix them. Create delicious cocktails for you and your friends that will satisfy mixed drink cravings and keep you feeling your best from sunset to sunrise, and beyond.

More About William Porter:

"I started drinking and smoking when I was around 14 years old. In my late teens, in an attempt to stop smoking, I read Allen Carr’s Easyway. I was fascinated by his pragmatic and practical approach to what was a confusing and complicated subject. 

Over the years my drinking steadily increased but I continued to take a common sense analysis of what it was doing to me, coupled with a technical analysis of the chemical, physiological and psychological factors at play.

This continued for over a quarter of a century, during which I joined the 4th (Reserve) Battalion of the Parachute Regiment, served a 6 month tour of Iraq, qualified as a lawyer, started a career in the Financial Services sector of the City of London, got married, and had children.

My drinking continued to increase until, in February 2014, I finally stopped for good. I now live with my wife and two children in West London, and continue to work as a lawyer. "

Today’s conversation is with Grace Adams, who posts videos on tiktok under the moniker sobernotboring. We discuss her moments of clarity, how she took her power back from alcohol and what it was like reintegrating into NYC after getting sober.

More about Grace:

Since September 2022, I've been posting on TikTok about my recovery journey. I saw a lack of young women sharing honestly online about their addiction and recovery. It hit me hard that there is still such a stigma around alcoholism and stereotypes about alcoholics. So, I am making it my mission to show people that sobriety is fun. And being young and sober is hot. Along the way I am sparking conversations about the healing journey one goes through when overcoming addiction. And hey, I even try to bring some humor to such a heavy topic, 'cause laughter can be a powerful part of healing, right?
