Mindful Drinking & Moderation in Midlife: How to Drink Less, On Your Terms

Welcome to the essential podcast for anyone in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond who's ready to drink differently. While Gen Z gets all the headlines for being sober curious, let’s not forget that the real moderation revolution is happening in midlife – and this is your space to explore it without judgment, pressure, or expectation.

Join me to discover the people, places and brands making it easier than ever to live a life less intoxicated, whether that's for tonight, this week, or forever. 

I get it – as a midlife moderator, you're not looking to reinvent yourself completely. You want drinks that taste like the ones you already love, new and exciting options with something special to offer, experiences that enhance rather than shorten your evenings, and practical advice that fits your busy, demanding life.

I’m Denise Hamilton-Mace, your mindful drinking mentor, magazine editor, writer and public speaker on all things low, no and light.

My goal with this podcast is to help you feel more confident and more comfortable in your choice to explore a life less intoxicated, and to help you find, understand and enjoy the drinks that make it possible.

If you are, or aspire to be the type of savvy moderator who recognises that drinking less is not a binary decision, who knows that coasting with mid-strength drinks, alternating through zebra-striping or bookending the start and end of your night with something non-alcoholic are all viable options, then this show is for you.

You’ll leave each episode feeling motivated and supported to keep energy for the things that matter most: family, health, career, and living life on your own terms.

Each week on the Low No Drinker Podcast, you’ll get to either:

Mindful Moderation Solo episodes: Practical deep-dives into the questions that matter to sophisticated drinkers who want to moderate smartly, with topics like:

-              How do I cut back when my partner still drinks at home?

-              Why do premium alcohol-free drinks cost the same as full-strength versions when there's no alcohol and no tax?

-              Why can't I handle booze like I used to?

-              What's the real difference between no, low and light alcohol options?

-              How do I navigate social situations when I'm the only one moderating?

 Meet the Makers: Intimate conversations with the experts, founders, brewers, distillers, and visionaries who are creating premium alcohol-free drinks, venues and resources that support, not compromise, who you are. 

This isn't about going completely dry or following someone else's rules. It's about making mindful choices, exploring sophisticated alternatives, and practising practical moderation that suits your lifestyle. 

Whether you're a Gen X professional looking to improve your health, a busy parent wanting more energy, or someone who simply wants to enjoy better mornings while still celebrating life's special moments, this podcast helps you drink your own way.
