In this episode, I dive deep into the complex intersection of alcohol, friendships, and the evolving landscape of social life in your twenties. I explore how drinking culture influences our relationships, how shifting dynamics in friendships often reflect larger changes in our personal values, and how the quest for meaning and connection evolves over time. From the rise of "sober curiosity" and the growing movement of individuals questioning their relationship with alcohol, to the challenges of building authentic community in an age dominated by capitalism, we unpack it all.

How does alcohol shape our sense of self and our social interactions? What does it mean to "outgrow" certain friendships as your life priorities shift? And what happens when traditional spaces for gathering and connection — bars, clubs, and other third spaces — become increasingly commodified or inaccessible? Tune in for a thoughtful conversation on how to navigate these transitions, build healthier relationships with alcohol (and ourselves), and find meaningful ways to connect in a world that often feels disconnected.
