Scare Yourself Sober!

This week Vic and Hamish go full Halloween mode, but instead of fake cobwebs and plastic skeletons, they’re serving up the truly terrifying stuff: the cold, hard facts about booze. From death tolls that rival horror films, to drink-driving disasters, to long-term health risks that make your liver want to pack its bags and leave, they’re laying it all bare.

Why? Because sometimes the only way to spark change is to scare the pants off you. Expect stats, stories, dark humour, and a few dodgy Dracula impressions as they dive into the big picture (alcohol-related deaths), the immediate dangers (accidents, violence, dodgy exes), and the long-term risks (yep, the big C). Oh and Vic reveals that one of her favourite pastimes is scaring children...

It’s the spookiest episode of Sober Awkward yet, but don’t worry, there’s hope at the end. Sobriety doesn’t just remove the horror, it gives you the happy ending you didn’t know you needed. (not that sort of happy ending)

Enjoy!
