  • A Moderate Drinker's Take on the Effects of Alcohol

    This episode, Kate & Steph speak to moderate drinker, Yvonne. They discuss whether it’s possible for a non-drinker to have a successful relationship with a heavy drinker and how you go about setting boundaries in relationships where one person drinks and the other doesn’t.

Finally, they explore the million-dollar question which is why some people can drink one glass of wine, and then stop, while others will always keep going until the bottle runs dry. Enjoy the episode! And a big thank you to our very first guest, Yvonne.
