Can you be queer and sober? The answer, of course, is yes. You can be absolutely anything that you want to be. Perhaps a better question is: can you easily be queer and sober? As we learn from our panel discussion which was recorded during our Mindful Drinking Festival in October 2021, being queer and being a drinker can be inextricably linked. Linking our drinking to such a crucial part of our identity can cause problems when we feel ready to ditch the booze. A really important branch of what we do at Club Soda is Queers without Beers. It's a charity that we set up in around 2016 which hosts a series of alcohol-free LGBTQI+ social events and an online community. Being as February is LGBT+ History Month in the UK, we wanted to revisit this important conversation, which is chaired by Queers without Beers' trustee Scott Pearson, also known on Instagram as @proudandsober.Our podcast is available on all your favourite podcasting platforms, like Apple, Google and Spotify.
