Everybody does it but does that make it ok? That's the question Vic and Hamish will ry to answer, in their own 'unique' way, in todays episode of Sober Awkward.

You've heard the line before...

'I might be bad but I'm not an alcoholic.'

'Didn't I read somewhere that drinking a little red wine is good for you?'

'Everything in moderation!'

The messages that we receive in today's society about what is considered 'normal' drinking, directly opposes those that we are receiving from our doctors.

This confusion leads many of us to fall into the trap of believing what we see around us rather than what those like the World Health Organisation are saying.

In today's episode Vic and Hame take a deeper dive into this gap...not that like you filthy animals...although Vic does admit to having wank on her head throughout this episode.

Don't know what that means? Nor do we!

Enjoy!

In this weeks retrospective episode we unpack the term 'alcoholic'. Most of us never think of ourselves as alcoholics,, no matter how bad our drinking habits get. But for others, the harshness of the word is enough to shock us into going sober.

Hungover? Thinking about giving up drinking, but it feels too hard and too boring? Are you an alcoholic?

If these questions are banging around inside your head today then this is the episode for you. Questioning you alcohol intake means it could be time to say goodbye anxiety, farewell shame, vomit and one night stands - Hello Scrabble!

It's New Years day - officially the biggest day to consider going sober. But don't hide in bed all day, get up and put the kettle on. Vic and Hamish are here to help, guide you along your sober path with some wisdom, honesty and a few too many knob jokes.

They begin the episode by telling you a bit about New Years Eve's gone by, waking up at kids picnics, why Vic and fireworks don't mix around this time of year and you'll hear a little too much information about Hamish's ball bag, but not to worry, just keep listening... because todays episode is full of brilliant advice for anyone that's in bed, feeling like shit, unsure of how to approach a span-dangly sober life.

So, get ready for a top ten countdown. Today, Vic and Hamish are here to answer all the questions that are spinning around in your head and get you prepped for a happier and healthier future.

Stick to your New Years resolution to quit the booze once and for all. Because honestly.....

If these two idiots can do it, then you can too.

Oh, and listen out for a famous intro - No - we can't believe it either!

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.

In this weeks retrospective episode Vic and Lucy look back at some of their thought processes prior to making the decision to reach out for help. Feeling unworthy of help is something that a lot of drinkers sadly live with which can delay making the call to go sober.
