Understanding Binge Drinking: A Must-Hear for Women / EP 92

“Is weekend drinking really harmless—or is it quietly stealing your energy, health, and joy?”In this episode of the Sober & Lit Podcast, Ruby and Susan dive straight into the truth about binge drinking, especially the kind so many of us laugh off as “just weekend fun.” What actually counts as binge drinking? Why do oversized wine glasses, happy hour specials, and “work hard, play hard” culture trick us into thinking it’s normal? And what are the real costs—even if you only drink on Fridays and Saturdays?With candid stories from their own pasts, Ruby and Susan unpack how quickly “reward drinks” can spiral into exhaustion, poor sleep, anxiety, and a cycle of feeling less present in your own life. They break down myths around moderation, share eye-opening health stats, and explore why so many women underestimate just how much alcohol they’re consuming.If you’ve ever told yourself, “It’s fine because I don’t drink during the week,” this conversation is for you. Tune in for a reality check full of compassion, practical tools, and an empowering invitation to try an alcohol-free weekend, and discover how good it feels to wake up clear, confident, and lit from within.Grab our free alcohol free weekend guide and give it a try!We Love Hearing From YouDon't forget to follow and subscribe and leave a review!
