At long last, my most requested topic: alcohol. In this episode, I talk about my experience as a 21-year-old who doesn't drink alcohol. In a Q+A format, I explore peer pressure, dealing with skeptics, my favorite non-alcoholic drinks, and more. I made this episode to highlight and reflect on my personal experiences, but I recognize that alcohol is a sensitive topic and different for everybody.FOLLOW @CLAIREAPYPOD ON INSTAGRAMMy socials:Insta & Tik Tok- @[email protected]: 1-800-love by FLOOR CRY
