"British Booze Culture Meets The Sober New Yorker"

from The Sober New Yorker · host Melissa McGovern

In this solo episode, I take you across the pond to London, where I spent a week with my daughter soaking up the sights—and observing just how deeply alcohol is woven into British culture. From cozy corner pubs on every block, to wine at the theater, to beer-soaked football matches, drinking isn’t just common—it’s expected. Once upon a time, I wondered if I could ever navigate a trip like this without alcohol. But experiencing it all sober—with clarity, presence, and my daughter by my side—turned out to be something truly special. Tune in as I reflect on the highs, the culture shocks, and the unexpected joys of seeing London through sober eyes.https://www.instagram.com/thesobernewyorker/
