Summary
If you Google any hotel today - you will probably be met with a photo of a cocktail bar, a swim up bar, or a chilled wine being served in the restaurant...and don't get us started on minibars!
It seems almost impossible to book a hotel anywhere without being confronted by alcohol. Our society is so ingrained that holidays = drinking booze that this has become inevitable.
But that doesn't mean you can no longer enjoy a hotel stay on holiday!
During this week's episode Hame and Vic will share some of their recent sober holiday experiences to hopefully prepare you for how best to enjoy your holidays sober.
They will indulge themselves in a chat about the joys of drinking coconuts instead of cocktails and share some of their best and worst hotel experiences.

| 0:09.0 | The kettle's boiled, Vic. |
| 0:10.9 | Great. Perfect timing. Just a dash of milk for me, please, mate. |
| 0:16.7 | Here you go. Should we get started then? |
| 0:23.6 | Hello. Here you go. Should we get started then? Have you ever woken up on a Sunday morning and said I'm never drinking again, |
| 0:28.6 | and then found yourself waving 50 bucks at a barman by happy hour? |
| 0:31.6 | Are you wondering why everyone else can stop at one while you head to a dodgy after party |
| 0:36.6 | with a weird bloke called Disco Dave. |
| 0:38.9 | If so, it might be time to take a deeper look at your relationship with your reliable social crutch, alcohol. |
| 0:45.3 | On each episode, we'll investigate our own dysfunctional dealings with booze |
| 0:49.4 | and find out if it's possible to stop this deeply ingrained habit before things get too messy. |
| 0:54.8 | Yep, we're going to open up a shame shed of humiliating drinking stories to help you understand |

| 1:07.1 | Hamish and I are here to delve into what it's like being sober, an unwanted warts and all look into why giving up those cheeky pints or putting down those mummy wines will make you feel happier, help your anxiety and mental health, and turn you into the most sparkly authentic version of you. |

| 1:28.1 | I'm Victoria Vanstone. |
| 1:29.8 | I'm Hamish Adams-Kairns. |
| 1:31.4 | And this is sober awkward. |
| 1:40.0 | So it's not that we are avoiding each other, Vic, but I have just got back from Bali and now you're going. I am actually avoiding you. Oh, sorry. Yes. Have you noticed that whenever I say I'm going to meet you somewhere, I don't show up? You go to the right place just two weeks later? Yeah. You're very late. It's always my life plan to avoid you as much as I can. Yeah, we just meet for like 45 minutes a week, |
