No Chasers Needed is deconstructing drinking culture by taking an honest look at its role in our lives, society, and health. Hosted by wife and husband duo, Natalie and Keith, we invite you into our second year of ”opting out”, the lessons learned, and what life looks like without it. This isn’t about judgment or rules; it’s about rethinking a culture that glorifies booze while ignoring its costs. A new kind of happy hour.
This episode explores the common fears and anxieties many of us face when considering a change in our drinking habits. From worrying about being labeled as 'boring' at social events to navigating relationships without liquid courage, we dive into the social pressures that keep us tethered to alcohol. "Will people think I'm lame?" "Will my friendships suffer if I'm not drinking with them?" "How will I numb my feelings without a drink?"
Join us as we unpack these raw, honest concerns and share personal stories about confronting these fears head-on. Whether you're sober-curious, taking a break, or just wondering how others handle these situations, this conversation offers perspective on reimagining connections without alcohol as the centerpiece.

Alcohol's Time Tax
The average social drinker spends 168 hours a year - that's seven full days - just on active drinking and related activities. But the real time tax is far greater: add in the shopping, planning, and recovery time, and you're looking at over 792 hours annually - a staggering 33 days of your life each year devoted to alcohol.
While we focus on the cost of drinks, we rarely calculate the cost of lost mornings, foggy Mondays, and the countless hours spent planning around, recovering from, and thinking about drinking.
Imagine what you could create, learn, or experience with an extra month of clear-headed, energetic life each year...
