In the Summertime...(or wintertime!)

The sun is out, (or if it's snowing where you are) the change of season seems to be a good excuse to get pissed. The sky is blue, there's not a cloud to spoil the view and it boozy.... Don't worry, Vic and Hamish haven't caved in to a coldie quite yet, but there is a whiff in the air, and it smells like someones got a stubby and a sausage sizzle on the go. Yes it's that time of year here down under - Summer. Could the very triggery months ahead break your sober snap? Let's face it when summer comes, so does alcohol. It rains down at every outdoor gig, pub garden and picnic. For sober people, going onto Summer can feel really scary, its like coming out of hibernation and having to confront your fears face on. The pressure to drink, fit in and enjoy the weather are never higher. So, what do you do... keep hiding? or grab a sunhat, an af drink and join in? Vic and Hamish are here to tell you to about their Summers as boozers and share what it's like now, no longer getting hammered in a heatwave.
