The Alcohol Debate

This week, we’re exploring the impact of alcohol in the workplace and how it shapes our professional lives, often in ways we might not realise.

I'll be sharing insights from my new book, Bottling Up Trouble: How Alcohol Is Harming Your Business and What to Do About It, and digging into the complex relationship between work culture and drinking habits.

From the ‘client entertaining’ pressure to after-hours socialising, we’ll look at how alcohol can affect productivity, mental health, and even your company's bottom line.

We’ll also discuss the tricky path to changing workplace culture around alcohol, including the role leaders play in setting the tone and creating a safer, more inclusive environment.

If you've ever wondered how alcohol might be affecting your team—or your own career—this episode is packed with the insights you need to rethink the norm.
