Have you heard the term “sober curious?” Originally the title of a 2018 book by Ruby Warrington, sober curious has become a larger movement that encourages people to reevaluate their relationship with alcohol and adopt a more mindful approach to drinking. Alcohol can be one of the ways you demonstrate you belong in a social circle, but the sober curious question the cultural forces that encourage drinking alcohol. They consider the benefits of reducing or stopping drinking to your sleep, health, focus, finances, and productivity. The sober curious may still drink alcohol but are open to exploring other options.
