Whether it’s a champagne toast at a wedding, a shared pint with friends, a sacred ritual involving wine, or the appreciation of a fine whiskey, drinking is often deeply tied to cultural meaning and social norms. He examines how these contexts influence our choices and invites listeners to reflect on their own reasons for drinking—or not drinking. This monologue presentation challenges us to rethink our relationship with drinking occasions, blending humor, thoughtfulness, and practical advice on how to approach them more mindfully.
