About Low No Drinker: for mindful & sober curious Gen X drinkers

**A Spotify 'Rising Star' show** Practical moderation for the way you want to live. Why can't I drink like I used to? How do I drink less without quitting completely? Should I go for low, no or light alcohol drinks? Why do alcohol-free drinks cost so much? If you're in your 30s, 40s, 50s or beyond and asking these questions, this is your podcast. Welcome to the essential show for midlife adults who want to drink less, on their own terms—without the pressure to quit completely, follow rigid rules, or label themselves as sober. I'm Denise Hamilton-Mace, your mindful drinking mentor, writer and public speaker on all things low, no and light. Each week, I help stressed parents and busy midlife adults navigate their relationship with alcohol through practical approaches grounded in real-world experience and behaviour change strategy, not willpower or wellness culture What you'll get: Mindful Moderation Solo Episodes – Deep-dives answering the questions that matter to sophisticated drinkers who want to moderate smartly: How do I cut back when my partner still drinks at home? What really works: willpower vs. strategy? Why do premium alcohol-free drinks cost the same as full-strength versions? How do I navigate social situations when I'm the only one moderating? This podcast is for you if: You're looking for practical advice that fits your demanding life, not another wellness overhaul You recognise that coasting with mid-strength drinks, zebra-striping, or bookending your evening with something non-alcoholic are all valid strategies You want better mornings without giving up celebrating life's special moments This isn't about going completely dry or reinventing yourself. It's about keeping energy for what matters most: family, health, career, and living life on your own terms. Join the moderation revolution happening in midlife – because while Gen Z gets the headlines, you're the one actually doing it.
