When Drinking Doesn’t Quite Add Up This episode is a short pause. It’s for people who don’t think they drink “that much” — but still find themselves thinking about alcohol more than they expect to. Nothing dramatic has happened. No rock bottom. No clear line crossed. And yet, something about drinking doesn’t feel as neutral as it’s supposed to. In this episode, we name that quiet confusion. The mental bargaining. The comparison with others. The sense that stopping feels harder than it should — even when life looks fine from the outside. There’s no advice here. No plan. No pressure to change anything. Just space to recognise what’s been difficult to explain — and to realise you’re not the only one who feels this way.
