1000 Days Sober Podcast Why My 8-Year-Old Thinks She’ll Drink Wine
When Zia told me—so matter-of-factly—that she’ll probably drink wine when she grows up, it hit me like a truck.
She’s eight.
She’s never seen me drink.
Barely sees her mum drink.
She doesn’t live in a booze-soaked house.
And yet… she thinks she will.
Why?
Because culture doesn’t need to knock.
The Liquid Lie slips through the cracks—TV, school, books, weddings, jokes.
This episode isn’t about parenting.
It’s about programming.
It’s about the invisible inheritance we pass down—even when we try not to.
If you’re a single mum, a dad trying to do things differently, or someone who’s ever thought “just one glass” was harmless—this one’s for you.
