Going Dry, Sober Curiosity & Non-Alcoholic Margaritas w Hilary Sheinbaum | Taste Buds w Deb Ep 139

Описание: On this episode of Taste Buds with Deb, host Debra Eckerling speaks with Hilary Sheinbaum, a journalist and the founder of GoingDry.co, a non-alcoholic (N.A.) events and menu curation company. She is also the author of “Going Dry: A Workbook: A Practical Guide to Drinking Less and Living More” and “The Dry Challenge: How to Lose the Booze for Dry January, Sober October, and Any Other Alcohol-Free Month.”

Ten years ago, Sheinbaum participated in Dry January for the first time. She had no idea it would change her life!

“I made a very spontaneous, silly bet with one of my guy friends on New Year's Eve,” Sheinbaum, who was working as a red carpet entertainment journalist at the time - and also wrote articles on beer, wine and spirits, explains.

The first one to take a sip of alcohol in January lost. Her friend lasted around three weeks, Sheinbaum made it through the entire month.

“That was New Year's Eve 2016, and here we are 10 years later, 10 dry Januarys later,” she says. “I won a very expensive dinner at a Michelin star restaurant, but honestly the impact that it has had on my life for the past 10 years is worth so much more.”

Sheinbaum talks about going dry: the reason, the trend, and the community aspects. She also talks about her origin story, sober curiosity, and her favorite non-alcoholic margarita recipe.

“There is dry January, there is sober October; you can really go dry at any point in the year or for more than a month if you like,” she says. “It's not about putting pressure on yourself to be [perfect], it's really about seeing how reducing alcohol in your life can make it better on a day-to-day basis.”
