WARNING! How Going Cold Turkey Could Kill You!

Sober Awkward

About this episode

Don't give up alcohol... Alright, maybe we are being slightly facetious. 

(Anyone else get one of those word a day calendars this year...no...just me?


Giving up a serious drinking habit cold turkey can lead to some pretty awful and even fatal results.


Allow us to introduce you to the slightly terrifying world of Alcohol Withdrawal Symptom or AWS.


Firsly, this is not an excuse for you to NOT give up drinking. You will still need to do that I'm afraid. In today's episode we will guide you through exactly how you need to approach it in the safest way possible.


A lot fo Sober Awkward episodes contain the bizarre ramblings and story telling of us two muppets - but not this one!


With any luck, this one might just help save your life.
