What Is It With Men & Booze? With Pete Hunt
Manage episode 436564619 series 3579103
In this week’s episode, we're tackling a topic that hits close to home for many - men, masculinity, and booze.
While I’ve never had my femininity questioned for not drinking, men often face intense pressure to “man up” and have a drink.
To explore why, I’m joined by Pete Hunt, the mind behind The Privileged Man podcast and community. Together, we’ll unpack why men find it hard to talk about their mental health and how societal expectations around alcohol play a role.
It’s time to rethink what it means to be a man in today’s world.
