| 0:18.0 | Alicia. Welcome, how are you? |
| 0:20.0 | Hi, I'm great. I'm happy to be here. Thanks. |
| 0:23.0 | Oh, thanks so much for coming on. |
| 0:25.0 | So why don't sort of take us back to the beginning in your relationship with alcohol? |
| 0:29.0 | Where did it all start for you? |
| 0:30.0 | I guess I started drinking when I was a teenager probably about 15. |
| 0:35.0 | Technically it was probably in my home life earlier than that. |
| 0:42.0 | I grew up in sort of a traditional Catholic home and we had big Sunday dinners every week and I remember probably being, I don't know, pre-adolescent when I would get poured a glass of line at the dinner table as sort of being a part of a part of family dinner but also with this message of like teaching me how to drink responsibly. |

| 2:04.7 | with alcohol poisoning and hypothermia. |
| 2:07.1 | And it was a scary night for my friends and for my family. |
| 2:12.3 | And that's the first time I really overdid it and I didn't |
| 2:16.1 | drink for a while after that that kind of scared me and of course my friends were |
| 2:19.9 | watching out for me pretty carefully. But I suppose I started, I started again when I was, you know, a young adult and still didn't drink frequently, but when I would drink I would always over drink. |
