So, you think you’re in control of your drinking. You’ve got rules. You don’t drink before midday. You smashed Dry July. You’re not as bad as your mate Dave. But deep down… is alcohol really calling the shots?
In this episode, Vic and Hamish rewind the clock to those sneaky early days when they both tried to prove they were totally in control of their drinking — spoiler alert: they weren’t. From imaginary dance careers to strategic night out planning, they share the lies we tell ourselves to keep drinking, and why it’s so damn hard to see the truth until it slaps you in the face.
They also dig into the science of control (hello, dopamine), introduce you to “alcohol myopia” (yes, it’s a thing), and reveal the moment they each realised who was really behind the wheel. Plus, red flags to look out for, a reality check on moderation, and the challenge that might just change your life.
Come for the banter, stay for the bash-on-the-head truth bombs.
Let’s take back control — together. (Say in an American accent please!)
