With a Rebel Yell, Gen X Is Dropping Booze—And Ignoring the Rules As Usual - Victoria English
Gen X never liked being told what to do, and we’re not about to start now. We grew up as latchkey kids, drank from the hose and mastered the art of side-eyeing authority. So when it comes to quitting drinking, we’re doing it on our terms—no labels, no rules, no BS. This episode breaks down why booze was never the rebellion we thought it was, how it hijacks our brain, and why ditching it might just be the most punk move we’ve ever made. No shame, no lectures—just straight talk, sarcasm, and the freedom to live our way.
