Some questions asked during this episode:

• Is alcohol the best approach when wanting to destress after a hectic day?

Each episode we cut to the chase as we hang out with real people with real results. This week I'm excited to welcome Sarah Rusbatch to the podcast. Sarah is an accredited sobriety and gray area drinking coach based in Perth and also the face behind Perth's alcohol free movement. In this episode, we discussed the finer points of gray area drinking, uncover whether alcohol really is the best tool to distress after a hectic day at the office, and also dive into the less obvious signs that we may be drinking too much. Over to Sarah. Hey guys, this is Stu from 180 Nutrition and I am delighted to welcome Sarah Rusbatch to the podcast. Sarah, how are you?

Yeah, good. Really, really good. Excited to get into this particular topic today because I know that alcohol in particular is close to many people's hearts and there are lots of nuances where alcohol is concerned. So I think that you'll be the perfect person to expand on that. But first up, for all of our listeners that may not be familiar with you or your work, I'd love it if you could just tell us a little bit about yourself please.

Thank you for the introduction. So I'm Sarah Rusbatch. I'm from the UK. I live over in Perth in Western Australia, and I'm a Gray Area Drinking Coach, which is probably not a job title that many people have heard of before. When people ask me what I do, I'm always like, should I give the long answer or the short answer? Because it's not a title that people go, "Oh yeah, I know exactly what that is." So maybe I can start off by explaining to you what is gray area drinking? For full transcript and interview:https://180nutrition.com.au/180-tv/sarah-rusbatch-interview/
