Going sober: "It wasn't necessarily the hangover, it was more of that hangxiety feeling"
Steph Elswood decided to quit alcohol in 2019, after a 30-day sobriety challenge left her feeling better than before.
She says she was initially nervous about going out with her friends, but that she's seen an increasing level of support when talking about sobriety with other people. "Rather than the, ‘Oh go on, just have one’ it's, ‘I've been thinking about doing that too’" Steph told 5 Live Drive.
Since 2005, the overall amount of alcohol consumed in the UK has fallen, and the proportion of people drinking has also decreased. These trends are especially pronounced among younger people.
