Reflecting on the reckless abandon of our youths, we never imagined the nights of heavy drinking would evolve into a lifestyle fraught with risks and regrets. Join Meg and Bella as we peel away the layers of Australia's binge drinking culture, sharing raw and honest tales from our past. We take you through the high-risk initiation rites of youth, the pressure to maintain this hazardous habit, and the urgent need for new, healthier traditions of celebration. In this candid conversation, we also discuss the sobering reality of the aftermath and the recommended guidelines for responsible drinking, aiming to spark a dialogue on the necessity of redefining our relationship with alcohol.

As we venture further into our personal experiences, we dissect the complex reasons that fuel our binge drinking habits. From using alcohol as social glue in our formative years to numbing anxiety, Meg and Bella unveil the escalating tolerance that has led us, and many others, to blackouts and daily binge drinking. We examine the societal norms, like pub promotions, that perpetuate dangerous drinking patterns and the challenges we face in breaking free from the normalisation of excessive alcohol consumption. Through our introspective journey, we offer listeners a chance to rethink their own drinking practices as we champion the creation of more mindful and healthy celebratory customs.
