Sobriety, and the role of alcohol in the university experience - S4E6

Join host Martin Lloyd as he talks you through sobriety and the drinking culture at uni. How many students drink regularly, and are the figures changing? How can we make uni more welcoming for our sober peers? And what are the benefits of going on a sober night out, even once in a while? All of these questions and more will be answered in this episode. Also, enjoy an interview with Elinor Johns, the social secretary of the LUU Music Society (LUUMS), as she offers her perspectives on how societies can be more welcoming to their sober members.
