This Sept 2024 conversation with Duncan Bhaskaran Brown gets into shifting focus from alcohol to connections, how to find alternatives in social situations, importance of having a plan beyond quitting drinking, (re)gaining focus and energy, various misconceptions and impacts of alcohol in society like cancer, media budgets, product placements, glamor, deception, anxiety, creativity, social settings, addiction, etc. Duncan gives advice on interventions and some stark insights about voluntarily clients and those not so voluntary clients.

Were you aware that 40% of Britons and 36% of Americans had a heavy drinking episode in the last 30 days?
Do you know that the World Health Organisation found that the average man drinks 19.4 litres of pure alcohol every year – the equivalent of nearly four bottles of wine a week?
Do you realise that alcohol costs the American Economy at least $430 billion last year – more than Apple’s entire turnover?
And have you figured out that few people are talking about it?

Introduction
Some people say that Duncan can help you to go beyond alcohol.
But that isn't it. Duncan will help you increase your energy, power up your productivity, improve your relationships and enjoy the heck out of life.
After 20 years of overdoing it, he cleaned up his act and trained with the world’s most successful stop smoking service. But that wasn’t enough.
He studied at Cornell University, the Chartered Management Institute and in a windowless room in Peterborough. But that wasn't enough.
He wrote a couple of books, most recently ‘Real Men Quit’, the armchair macho guide to beating booze and finding the life you want. But that wasn't enough.
He’s started interviewing the sober superstars and conducting research projects which involved watching TV. But that wasn't enough.
What would be enough? Maybe if alcohol-free was the default, if sober was the new normal and if alcohol stops destroying people. Maybe then Duncan will sit down with a mint tea and sci-fi novel and relax. Maybe.
