Episode 222: The Culture of Alcohol 

In episode 222 of the Sober Vibes podcast, Courtney Anderson explores how alcohol has become more than a substance; it's a full-blown culture, belief system, and lifestyle deeply embedded in our society and family ecosystems. 

What you will learn in this episode:

• Alcohol culture appears everywhere—from celebrations to grief, rewards to "surviving" parenthood
•  Big alcohol companies have historically destroyed families and health, yet face minimal criticism compared to other industries
• The family dynamic with alcohol creates generational patterns that can be difficult but crucial to break
• Children who grow up with alcohol-dependent family members often develop traits like people-pleasing, codependency, and becoming high achievers
• Media glamorizes drinking while rarely showing realistic consequences, creating false narratives about what "problem drinking" looks like
• The alcohol industry has successfully made drinking part of our identities through clever marketing and normalization
