We explore which parts of those occasions you might want to keep, why ordering something alcohol-free can prompt surprisingly personal questions and how to answer without turning dinner into a debate. Plus, simple drink ideas for ordinary evenings – no twelve-ingredient mocktail required. This podcast is produced by Wild & Organic. All voices are AI-generated.
