Spill Responsibly episodes

  • Raise your glass! British drinking culture, the boozy brunch trend (is nightlife over?!) and more than a couple embarrassing night-out stories!

    What’s the big deal with drinking in the UK? We all love a pub garden, a rooftop cocktail and (back in the day) an illicit local park gathering compete with a 3L bottle of Strongbow or a bottle of red you stole from your parent’s wine rack! But why are we so obsessed with drinking?
     
     In today’s episode we talk about drinking culture, including the peer pressure we’ve all experienced when it comes to having a bevvie or 2, and we spill (somewhat irresponsibly), our worst hangovers and embarrassing stories resulting from having one too many! We question, is the boozy brunch replacing those iconic nights out? AND we provide you with our recommendations for the best brunch spots in London in our 'Place or Space' segment!
     
     Also in today's episode, we play a quick game of ‘Would you rather?’ with an alcohol theme and Becki shares a hilarious ‘She-to’my-nanigan’! ENJOY!
