Summary

Banning alcohol? It seems barely believable. But from 1920-1933 that is exactly what happened in America.

But was it successful and would it work today?

Would the world be a better place if alcohol never even existed? Have we now gone to a stage where we have gone too far down the path and any ban on alcohol would cause a riot?

These are some of the important questions that Hame and Vic will tackle this episode.

You will also hear their answers to the less important ones like why Vic has an irrational hate of emus and Hame thinks we should be naked more often.

It's a boozy history lesson with a weird Sober Awkward twist! Enjoy!

Vic, what are you doing on the 27th of April? I'm busy Hamish. Oh, what are you doing? I'm going to be part of this sober, awkward live show. Of course you are. Can I come? No. No, actually, you are invited. You are part of the show. We probably better get rehearsing, actually. That's a good point. It's going to be an absolute shit fight. It's actually sold out. What? Yeah. So exciting. But the good news is that you can now go on to our

before things get too messy. Yep, we're going to open up a shame shed of humiliating

drinking stories to help you understand why waking up from a booze coma each weekend with a kebab sticking out of your top pocket might actually be negatively impacting your health.

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,

1:49.5

and turn you into the most sparkly, authentic version of you.

Won't that mean I become boring, though, Vic?
