Summary
This week, things get steamy… or rather, extremely awkward, as Vic and Hamish dive into the sweaty, slippery world of sex and sobriety. From brewer’s droop and boozy blunders to the awkward reality of sober intimacy, this episode explores how alcohol shaped our sex lives — and what happens when the booze is gone and the lights are on.
Vic shares how lager gave her false confidence and a free pass to the “downstairs disco,” while Hamish confesses his reliance on Dutch courage to even make a move. Together, they unpack the myths around alcohol and sex, laugh about some deeply mortifying bedroom misadventures, and explore how connection changes when you’re sober, present, and fully clothed until at least 9:15pm.
With raw honesty, community confessions, and more innuendos than should be legally allowed, this episode is for anyone navigating sex in sobriety, whether you’re avoiding it, faking it, missing it, or finally starting to enjoy it.
It’s awkward, it’s real, and it’s very, very Sober Awkward.
