Episode Synopsis

It’s no secret that drinking culture is deeply woven into life on site — from knock-off beers in the wet mess to the pressure of “just having one.” In this episode, I take a look at why alcohol plays such a big role in mining, how dry camps are shifting the culture, and what it means if you choose not to drink.I talk openly about peer pressure, escapism, social rituals, and how to support yourself or your mates — whether you're pouring a beer or skipping it altogether. This is not about judgement, it’s about awareness, choice, and starting conversations that actually matter.Whether you’re sober-curious, navigating a dry camp, or just trying to figure out what role drinking plays in your own experience — this one’s for you.Trigger warning: This episode includes discussion of alcohol use and addiction. If this topic feels sensitive for you, please take care while listening.
