Summary
Lucy is away in England, so Vic welcomes her sister Louise onto the Sober Awkward podcast today. Louise has been sober for over 23 years and is an expert when it comes to alcohol and work environments. Together they delve into why there is so much pressure to drink with work mates, how alcohol and hangovers affected their careers and if there are any ways employers can make job and work functions a bit more AF friendly. Oh; and there are a few awful work related misdemeanours from Vic, Lou and the listeners to cringe over. So tuck your shirt in, polish your shoes and turn on the photocopier - it's time for the calamitous Sober Awkward curriculum vitae!
