Is Booze the New Cigarette? Why Alcohol Might Be Losing Its Cool


Listen Later

Is alcohol finally losing its cool? In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast, we dive into a question more and more people are starting to ask: Is booze becoming the new cigarette? Once glamorized, now scrutinized, alcohol might be heading for a cultural downgrade.

We break down the data showing the massive shift in drinking trends, including the rise of non-alcoholic drinks, declining alcohol sales, and how more high-performing men are ditching the booze to level up in business, relationships, and mental clarity. From concerts to ball games to boardrooms, being the sober guy is no longer lame. In fact, it's becoming a superpower.

You’ll hear real talk, a few laughs, and maybe even a flashback to that old baseball coach who smelled like a distillery and told you to “walk it off.” Spoiler alert: He’s not the vibe anymore.

Actionable Takeaways:

  • Rethink the “normal” social script—being sober doesn’t mean being boring.
  • Start tracking how alcohol actually impacts your energy, mood, and performance.
  • Try swapping booze for a quality NA beer or sparkling hop water next time you’re out.
