Thinking of taking a month off booze? You’re in the right place. In this lively, awkward, and surprisingly educational episode, Vic and Hamish dive deep into what actually happens to your body when you stop drinking for 30 days. From liver repair and glowing skin to remembering your Netflix password, this is your full-body audit — with stats, science, and saddle chafing.

We talk about the first five days (spoiler: there’s bloat, fog, and sudden urges to take up badminton), the weeks that follow, and the ripple effects that might just change your life. It’s funny, it’s honest, and for some unknown reason, Vic says the phrase “pussy hair.” Yes, we’re horrified too. Very un-British. There’s also a moment where we consider ponies’ private parts. It’s informative stuff... we promise.

So whether you’re curious, already on the sober pony, or just here for the inappropriate metaphors, this episode will give you everything you need to know about going alcohol-free — and maybe, just maybe, staying that way.

The Month of Nope? Dried July? Mocktail Month? Whatever you call it, let’s just go with “30 Days of Nope” and crack on. Oh, and don't forget, if you need some extra support head to www.soberawkward.com and download 'The Guide' today. It's Vic and Hame's 30 day sober guide. Everything you need to get through this month with a smile on your face and a spring in your step!
