Today, I’m answering a listener question about something a lot of people struggle with—how to drink less around friends without making it weird or awkward. Cutting back can feel great, but what happens when your social life still revolves around alcohol? You don’t want to make it a big deal, but you also don’t want to feel pressured or have to explain yourself all night.

In this episode, I’ll break down exactly how to navigate drinking less in social settings while keeping things natural and comfortable. You’ll learn why friends sometimes push back when you change your habits, how to casually bring it up without over-explaining, and what to say if someone teases or pressures you. Plus, I’ll share a simple mindset shift that makes social settings easier—so you can focus on having a good time instead of worrying about what’s in your glass.
