Summary

With the Fourth of July and summer events, drinking may be a hot topic of discussion within you and your friend group. I wanted to put out an episode where I talk about the pressure of drinking alcohol and why you shouldn't drink if you don't want to. In this episode I talk about alcohol being so normalized, being pressured into drinking as well as hangxiety and tips to avoid/manage it.

0:00.0	Hi Besties, welcome to or welcome back to Try Not To Care.
0:19.1	We're going to skip the intro and I just want to jump right into what we're going to talk
0:22.4	about today.
0:23.5	I've had so many requests to talk about drinking, drinking in your 20s and I
0:29.8	figured with it being the 4th of July tomorrow, if you're listening to this the day
0:33.8	it drops. This is the perfect time to talk about this. I would like to think that
0:40.4	the 4th of July is the holiday of all holidays to drink. Most people aren't even
0:48.3	celebrating the 4th of July, they're just partying. I used to consider the 4th of July my
0:54.9	favorite holiday. I mean, it's normally nice out, it's an excuse to drink, you're with
1:00.0	your friends, you're partying, you're outside swimming, eating, it's just a good time.
1:05.8	Every year without fail, I destroy a pack of red, white, and blue Smirnoff
1:10.7	slices. I have so many jello shots, I honestly black out with that being said. I know a lot
1:18.5	of you are planning on drinking or maybe considering it, you might be feeling pressured
1:23.0	to drink. So I want to talk about alcohol and anxiety. Like I said, I do drink, I'm not
1:32.3	recording this episode to tell you not to drink or that drinking is bad. I will definitely
1:37.7	be drinking tomorrow and throughout this week because I'll be on vacation in Colorado.
1:42.9	So please don't listen to this episode and then look at my Instagram story of me with
1:46.8	multiple drinks and be confused. But yes, there is a but. Alcohol is a drug and it's a
1:55.1	highly addictive one. There's a reason why you can't drink until a certain age. And
2:00.8	although I've been drinking since I want to say like 14 years old, it's crazy to me
2:07.2	how normalized drinking is. Other drugs are so frowned upon. People are shamed so much for
2:15.9	smoking weed, smoking cigarettes, vaping, but then people who heavily drink aren't questioned
