**A Spotify 'Rising Star’ show** How do I drink less without quitting completely? What’s the difference between low, no and light alcohol drinks? Why can’t I drink like I used to? Why do alcohol-free drinks cost so much?

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, magazine editor, 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
