I Kissed Alcohol Goodbye: Let’s Break Up With Booze Together!
Society & Culture:Personal Journals
S1, Ep6 LIVE: "Alcohol & Masculinity" Roundtable w/Beau (Idaho), Rodolfo (Texas) & Dan (Ohio)
Why do so many men drink, and why do we drink so much?
How is it possible to choose an alcohol-free life in a culture that is thoroughly soaked in booze?
These three "traditionally-masculine/macho-muscular" men joined me to explore the reasons.
Our discussion originally aired live on YouTube and you can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K0v7J0fWAM
We rehearsed the stream beforehand and the audio was perfect -- then it went to shit again during the actual call, so thank you all once again for bearing with these glitches. The typing sounds will go away after I realized that issue.
I'm a perfectionist and hate that this is so unpolished, but I'm learning how to accept myself and my podcast as we are -- works in progress -- and publishing it anyway because I promise the words of wisdom these guys share are worth the listen.
Additionally, Dan's internet died (...I have this effect on electronics, even from afar...) so we unfortunately didn't get to hear his additional insights, but thankfully you can still listen to his phenomenal story on Episode #5.
While this panel is exclusively middle-aged males of European ancestry, we represent a variety of experiences from childhood to adult life -- and I'm biased as the host of course, but I think Beau and Rodolfo absolutely crushed this conversation so please tell me if you feel like this is a wasted hour of your life!
Also, huge shout-out to all of the YouTube livestream viewers who commented and asked questions.
For regular listeners and new ones alike, please know that my goal is to provide a highly diverse range of guests in the coming weeks and months from as many demographic and geographic areas as possible.
