Delving into our complicated relationships with drink and drugs. Sophie Duker, Heidi Regan and Ned Sedgwick are joined by comedian Jacob Hawley to talk honestly about their experiences in the murky world of drugs and the lost nights spent in pubs. Sophie investigates why some people choose weed over alcohol, Heidi has been tracking her drinking habits, Ned gets drunk and records it (and this somehow constitutes entertainment) and Steve Ali examines the drinking habits of Brits.
Co-created by Deborah Frances-White for The Spontaneity Shop and 麻豆社 Radio 4.
