Daddy Drinking Culture, Redefining Masculinity and Sobriety with Daniel Patterson

In this episode of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I sit down with Daniel Patterson to talk about the Daddy Drinking Culture, yes, it’s real, and it’s just as complex and damaging as the Mommy Wine Culture.Daniel shares his personal story of addiction and recovery, and we dive deep into how societal pressures and stress can normalize drinking for fathers and men — often at the expense of their mental health and relationships.We also talk about parenting, education, and what it really means to model emotional sobriety and self-awareness for the next generation.This is a powerful conversation about responsibility, healing, and creating a new, sober standard for what “strong” really looks like.Daniel Patterson has over twenty years of experience in secondary education and currently serves as the Director of Education for Visions Day School and PACE Academy. He’s the author of The Assertive Parent, RECOVER[edu], and SOBERTUNITY, and has been featured in The LA Times, HuffPost, NBC News, and more.Thank you for tuning in and for continuing to challenge cultural norms with me.Thank you to our Sponsors!ORGANIFI!
