Join Vic and Hame as they dive into the complex link between alcohol and depression. They explore the science behind why alcohol - a depressant - can make you feel good initially but leave your brain "wobbly" afterwards, potentially triggering a depressive episode.

The hosts share their own personal stories, with Vic opening up about how her depression was 100% booze-related and Hamish describing his own lows. They tackle the "chicken or the egg" question: does drinking cause depression, or do people drink to cope with it?

They also discuss how sobriety, while not a magical cure, can remove a major disruptor and provide the clarity needed to do the real work of healing.

Thanks for tuning in!
