Been bloomin’ hot, hasn’t it?! Time to chill, then, with Rich & Ben, The Sober Men. This week, Rich & Ben explore the glamour v’s reality in the world of alcohol advertising. It’s influence on behaviour & the responsibility companies have; the contrast between advertising images & real-life consequences. Relaxing, linen clad cold one on the beach? Nah, rotting in bed full of shame, more like.

And whilst we’re at it, why is 0% beer so expensive?

Rich reveals his Jet Washing God, & Ben has a run in with his hotel television; how great is a sober M6 though?!

Alcohol Free coach, Andy Garwood is “in the frame” & continuing to prove there is Life Beyond Booze & to blokes without a top on in Tesco, why?

Stay cool, folks! Rich & Ben, The Sober Men: The Podcast.
