Here's a glance at this episode...
In episode 222 of the Sober Vibes podcast, Courtney Anderson explores how alcohol has become more than a substance; it's a full-blown culture, belief system, and lifestyle deeply embedded in our society and family ecosystems.
What you will learn in this episode:
- Alcohol culture appears everywhere—from celebrations to grief, rewards to "surviving" parenthood
- Big alcohol companies have historically destroyed families and health, yet face minimal criticism compared to other industries
- The family dynamic with alcohol creates generational patterns that can be difficult but crucial to break
- Children who grow up with alcohol-dependent family members often develop traits like people-pleasing, codependency, and becoming high achievers
- Media glamorizes drinking while rarely showing realistic consequences, creating false narratives about what "problem drinking" looks like
- The alcohol industry has successfully made drinking part of our identities through clever marketing and normalization
