Does drinking these days leave you feeling bleh and cause more anxiety in your life? Are you sober curious? Unlike sobriety, which is often a lifestyle chosen as a result of alcoholism, sober curiosity is often defined as having the option to choose, to question, or to change your drinking habits for health-focused reasons (mental and/or physical). The sober curious movement has encouraged people to recognize the often-unhealthy habits or feelings that are associated with alcohol.
