St George's Day special: Does England have a healthy relationship with beer?
from Upper Bottom · host Oliver Pickup and Dan Orcese
Time to slay some dragons!Ollie and Cess discuss St George's Day celebrations – have you had your "dragon's blood" cocktail yet? – with beer aficionado Rupert Ponsonby, who provides brilliant stories and details about boozing in England over the years.Before that interview, the hosts reflect upon their experiences with alcohol-free dancing (awkward!), their favourite boozers, and the nation's most popular TV pubs, plus the pros and cons of sobriety – is Cess slipping? They also celebrate football-hardman-turned-geezer-actor Vinnie Jones' 11 years of sobriety – and an article about the changing drinking habits in the pub industry. Choice quotations include: “You can have a few pints because you're in your 20s. You can run it off and you can get on with it, but drinking is a young man's sport.” And: “I've learnt that ego is not your amigo.”#sobriety#UpperBottomPodcast #NoLowDrinkTrends#sobermovement#sobercurious#sober
