Post-summer reset: Is September the best time to reboot – and quit booze?

from Upper Bottom · host Oliver Pickup and Dan Orcese

For many, September ushers in the end of summer and a halt to holiday indulgence. It's the second reset month of the year after January, and that means reflection, positive change, detoxification, and possibly action.Cess and Ollie have both been active, with the former bagging a couple of Munros in the Highlands and the latter bettering Dame Kelly Holmes in the Big Half. The hosts offer words of wisdom to those thinking about quitting booze this month, and also talk about the growing trend of non-alcoholic drinks, including Guinness 0.0%, and the potential for these drinks to outsell their alcoholic counterparts.NB Discount code for Drink it In Festival: PICMED-DRINKITIN-15 (via https://www.drinkitinfestival.com/) – we'll be there on Sept 6.
