A Canadian, an American and a Brit walk into a bar… for a light-hearted discussion about alcohol. Our experiences of it and our social obsession with it. Are you into it, or over it? Host Linda McLachlan and friends, Vijay Chavda and Ryan Geismar chat about how alcohol has played a role in their lives - from childhood to parenthood. How have things around us changed, how have we changed? Is sobriety (or some level of abstinence) easier or harder now? And what are the options? So… are you into it, or over it? Linda openly acknowledges the generous and life changing writing and work of Ann Dowsett Johnston writer of Drink: The Intimate Relationship Between Women and Alcohol and Annie Grace writer of This Naked Mind: Control Alcohol, Find Freedom, Discover Happiness & Change Your Life. Both Ann and Annie’s work helped her choose to live sober since April 27, 2019. Originally recorded on Fireside Chat with an interactive audience. This is an edit version of that conversation.
