Dating without alcohol can feel weird—until you realize it’s where the real magic happens. Seeking connection without alcohol doesn’t have to feel like a social experiment—and yet, for most people, it kind of does.In this week’s episode of The Undrunken™ Podcast, April Katz joins me to talk about what it’s really like to date sober—or even just take a break from drinking while trying to meet someone new.
We unpack the myths and moments of sober dating: the awkward pauses, the refreshing clarity, and the surprising freedom that comes from skipping the drink. Because when you Dump the Drink™, you make space for something way better—authentic connection. We dive into what happens when you actually show up as your full, undrunken self. Spoiler: it’s not just possible—it’s better.
If you’ve ever wondered what to order on a drink-free date, how to tell someone you’re not drinking, or whether sober dating can actually be fun (and sexy), this episode’s for you. You’ll walk away with real-life tips for navigating date nights, building connection, and actually enjoying yourself while fully present.
