Why Can’t Socialising Be More Healthy?

A long walk instead of the pub?

In 20 years, might drinking alcohol and eating indulgently go the way that smoking has? Some people will do it sometimes, but it will be far less common place.

Eating and drinking is fun, I get it, but if you have a difficult relationship with food and drink, socialising can be one step forward and two steps back.

You’ve seen your friends and had a laugh. Priceless. But so is your physical and mental health. A “fun night” can trigger a vicious circle leading to a “bad week”, a “big summer” and the unravelling of months of hard work.

One day, I hope, it will be as natural and have a similar “can’t wait” vibe to say “shall we go for a walk and a cup of tea?” as it is to say “burger and beers?”
