  • Episode 12 – Men & Alcohol (Part 2): From Mates to Masks — Peer Pressure, Loneliness, and the Cost of Drinking Culture
    Dec 18 2025

    In Part 2 of our men-focused series on alcohol, we explore how male drinking culture evolves over time — and what often gets lost along the way. What starts as social drinking with mates in bars can quietly shift into drinking at home, disguised as a “civilized” or sophisticated wine habit.

    We discuss the powerful peer pressure many men feel to keep drinking even when they don’t want to — whether for health reasons, family responsibilities, or simply wanting clarity the next morning. The conversation also turns to a quieter but deeply important issue: loneliness, including the growing number of middle-aged men who find themselves drinking alone in pubs and bars.

    Finally, we examine the darker side of alcohol-fueled masculinity — how lowered inhibitions, emotional suppression, and group dynamics can escalate into toxic behavior, and in the worst cases, contribute to harm and sexual assault.

    This episode isn’t about judgement — it’s about awareness, responsibility, and opening a more honest conversation about what men actually need as they grow, change, and age.

    In this first installment of our 3-part Men’s Series, we dig into how alcohol intersects with men’s mental health, emotional regulation, stress, identity, and social expectations.
    We explore:
    • How men use alcohol to cope silently
    • Why emotional suppression matters
    • Social pressure, bravado, and risk-taking
    • The marketing machine targeting men
    This episode opens the door to a deeply important conversation—one that every man, and everyone who cares about men, needs to hear.

  • Episode 12 — Gender & Alcohol: Women, Wine Culture & Self-Trust (Part 2)
    Nov 12 2025

    Send us a text

    In Part 2 of our ongoing Gender & Alcohol series, Bridgene shares a candid arc many women will recognize—gradual anxiety, self-medicating with wine, and the turning point of a 90-day break that changed everything. We dig into menopause-related mood shifts, the “beer fear” spiral, and why alcohol quietly dulls empathy, judgment, and safety awareness. We also unpack the pink-washed marketing machine—“mommy wine” culture, glittery merch, and the subtle push toward middle-lane drinking that rarely stops at “just one.” Most importantly, we talk self-trust: try a six-week break, run your own experiment, and let the evidence speak. No shame, no labels—just data from your life.
