Drinking culture is everywhere—woven into our celebrations, our stress relief, and even our ideas of adulthood. But how much of that is by design? In this episode, Heather and Zoe take a hard look at the ways alcohol is marketed, normalized, and even weaponized—especially against women. From high school binge-drinking trips to the mommy wine industrial complex, they unpack the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways society encourages us to drink, and what happens when we start questioning it.

Heather and Zoe explore how healing often looks messy, nonlinear, and deeply personal — and how crucial it is to speak your truth, even when it's hard to hear or say out loud. Together, they reflect on what it means to sit with uncomfortable emotions rather than try to fix or rush past them. Because at the end of the day, only you know what's true to you.

Heather and Zoe confront the question: Am I an alcoholic? They unpack the subtle and not-so-subtle signs of alcohol dependence—from hiding bottles in purses to needing a drink just to go on a date—and how these moments felt “normal” until sobriety changed their perspective. They reflect on how alcohol quietly took control and how their paths to recovery began with asking the hard questions.
