Is Alcohol Permission To Stop Performing in Sport?

Is Alcohol Permission To Stop Performing in Sport?

Why is sport still drinking? For decades, alcohol has been part of sporting culture. Team nights out, beers after games and stories of legendary drinking sessions have become part of the mythology of elite sport.


But is that culture changing? And if it is, what are we replacing it with?


Jake and Damian explore why alcohol has played such a powerful role in sport, from helping teammates bond and break down hierarchy to simply giving people permission to switch off. They discuss the pressure of constant optimisation, why high performance can become exhausting, the darker side of celebrating destructive drinking stories, and what modern teams can do to create connection without relying on alcohol.


They also explore what elite sport can learn from women's sport, the importance of shared experiences, and why sometimes the thing we need most is simply permission to stop performing.


A conversation about alcohol, sport, connection, pressure and the importance of knowing when to switch off.
