Sober At 20: Steve Flynn Of The Happy Pear On Quitting Drinking

Steve Flynn was 20, deep in Irish rugby-lad culture, and proud to tell his granny he was going out to get drunk. He hadn't kissed a girl sober. He didn't really know who he was outside the pub.

Then his twin brother Dave found a book on detox in the library. They quit drinking for a month to train for a marathon. They never really went back.

Twenty years later, Steve is one half of The Happy Pear: a million-and-a-half followers, five number one cookbooks, online courses that have reversed heart disease markers in thousands of people, and a vegetable shop that started with a small dream and a stinking van full of cabbage.

In this conversation with Sober Dave, Steve goes deep on Irish drinking culture, how giving up alcohol gave him permission to question everything else, and why community and laughter are the superfoods nobody talks about.
