Why I quit alcohol for good

Описание: Subscribe:    / @chloe-keys  

Good morning, afternoon and evening to you :)

I am here once again serving you up a big, steaming RANT about not drinking and more importantly, why people are STILL so weirdly judgemental about it in 2026.

I'm exploring the 'boring' label of sobriety, the secret habits I used to 'fit in' at University, and why the social stigma of not drinking hasn't caught up to 2026 reality.

This is my PSA to stop shrinking yourself to fit into places/people you’ve outgrown!!!!

I discuss:

00:00 - Introduction
03:03 - How not drinking still makes me feel judged, even in 2026
08:43 - The shame, awkwardness, and “boring” label that comes with saying no
11:17 - My secret behaviour I did at University to fit in (this is NO joke)
16:29 - Is Gen Z drinking less? So why hasn't the stigma still not caught up
23:17 - My favourite sober influencer
26:10 - Tips on how to not shrink yourself to fit in

Hope you enjoy :)
