Episode 2: "A Brief, Bubbly History of Not Drinking" Julia takes listeners on a playful journey through humanity's long relationship with alcohol and abstinence.

With humor and historical insight, Julia reveals that the urge to reset and question drinking is as old as alcohol itself, helping listeners see their own Dry January as part of a brave tradition of self-examination spanning centuries.
