First, we kick off the episode with weekly highs and lows and a brief overview of how optimistic we are for football season (fellow female fantasy players, where you at?!).

From drinking out of Burnett's bottles in our dorm rooms, to successfully completing (and enjoying!) Dry January, our drinking patterns and views on alcohol have changed drastically in the past decade. We talk about how our early years of drinking began and affected our relationship with alcohol, then get into the "sober-curious" buzzword that's been all over TikTok. We discuss where we stand with alcohol and tips for limited or avoiding drinking during social events.
