Summary
Welcome back to Sober. Not Sober! In this episode, Grant (the industry pro who’s not sober) and Mekaylay (rocking nearly four years sober) dive into the ultimate showdown: Alcoholic vs. Sommelier. We kick off the new year with laughs, real talk, and a few wild stories about sobriety, social life, and the ever-changing alcohol industry. We get honest about the ups and downs of being sober, the social pressures, and how friendships evolve. Grant shares insights from his years in the industry, while Mekaylay opens up about life after rehab and the realities of staying sober in a world that loves to drink. Plus, we tackle viral trends, mocktails, Costco wine hacks, and why it’s totally fine to enjoy a drink—if you do it responsibly. Whether you’re sober, not sober, or somewhere in between, this episode is packed with relatable moments, hot takes, and plenty of humor.
