Cheating, arguments and blackout sex: How alcohol affects the way we date, with Millie Gooch

This week, Olivia speaks to writer and campaigner Millie Gooch.


Millie is the founder of the Sober Girl Society, which is a platform for sober and sober curious women. She’s also just published her first book, The Sober Girl Society Handbook.


In this episode, the duo discuss how drinking alcohol, and drinking culture, impacts the way we date. They talk about everything from sober dating and infidelity to how alcohol causes arguments in relationships and what happens when drinking blurs the lines of consent.


There is a discussion about sexual assault in this episode so please do bear this in mind before you listen.


Enjoy the show!
