Australian drinking culture is loud, normalised - and expensive. In this straight-talking episode, men’s health coach Andre Obradovic breaks down why Aussie men drink (stress relief, identity, belonging, avoidance), how “I only drink socially” often becomes a pattern, and why alcohol quietly sabotages the results most men want: fat loss, recovery, sleep quality, and testosterone.

We unpack the hidden costs beyond “extra calories”: the sleep disruption that drives cravings and poor decisions, the hormone hit that slows progress, and the way weekend drinking can wipe out a week of training and nutrition. Andre also calls out the fitness industry’s “cheat day + cardio” trap, shares practical scripts for handling social pressure without being weird or preachy, and gives a simple, measurable 30-day minimum effective plan that actually moves the needle.

Andre is known for his no-nonsense approach to nutrition, mindset, and performance. Since 2016, he’s coached everyone from everyday men to executives and athletes - helping them reduce stress, improve sleep, and drop stubborn body fat with clear systems that remove decision fatigue.

What we cover

• The real reasons men drink: stress relief, identity, belonging, permission, avoidance
• When “social drinking” becomes a habit (and how to test it)
• Work functions, judgement, and behaviour: the executive drinking problem
• Alcohol’s big hits: testosterone, sleep, fat loss, and recovery
• Why cheat days keep people stuck (and why the industry loves them)
• “No thanks” scripts for mates and social pressure (truth + “white lie” options)
• Parenting + leadership: what you model at home matters
• The 30-day plan: alcohol rules, food rules, sleep rules, steps, and structure

Key takeaways

• Weekend drinking can stall fat loss and recovery for days.
• Alcohol isn’t just calories - it changes hormones, sleep quality, and decision-making.
• If your mates mock your health goals, they’re passengers, not partners.
• Most men don’t need more cardio - they need better food, better sleep, and daily walking.
• You don’t wing health: plan dinners, cook extra protein, portion leftovers.
