Dr. Oz recently said, “Don’t drink for breakfast,” while outlining the new food pyramid and it got Shane thinking: why is alcohol still treated like the one socially acceptable drug? In this episode of That Sober Guy Podcast, Shane dissects the culture of “moderate drinking” and why society celebrates clarity only after chaos.

From brunch cocktails to business happy hours, alcohol is everywhere, and yet health conversations barely touch it. Shane explores why this advice protects industry, normalizes avoidance, and keeps people numbing instead of thriving. He contrasts mainstream guidance with voices like RFK Jr., who emphasize real wellness, conscious food choices, and intentional living.

This isn’t about shaming anyone, it’s about exposing cultural blind spots, questioning old habits, and seeing sobriety as clarity, freedom, and awareness. If you’ve ever wondered why “moderation” is celebrated more than awareness, this episode is for you.
