A sobering shift: Will the UK's new government change drinking culture like it did with smoking?

from Upper Bottom · host Oliver Pickup and Dan Orcese

It became illegal to smoke in all enclosed workplaces across the UK between March 2006 (first in Scotland) and July 2007 (England) – and no one thought it would happen. It just shows the power of government when it puts its mind to something. On the eve of the General Election, Ollie and Cess ponder whether the new government will have the appetite and willingness to change alcohol laws. To help answer the episode title's puzzler, they welcome Denise Hamilton-Mace, Founder and Editor of Low No Drinker Magazine, and Blake Gladman, Partner / Strategy and Insight Director at KAM Insight.There is also a snippet from UK Hospitality's CEO, Kate Nicholls, and some fun Booze News (and stories) about Wimbledon.Will it be love-all for no and low alcohol and the incoming government?#sobriety#UpperBottomPodcast#NoLowDrinkTrends#sobermovement#generalelection#sober
