For as long as comedian Bianka Thompson can remember, alcohol was a constant in her life.

But what was once a way to unwind and have a good time escalated to the point she was spending half her waking life drinking and the other half thinking about the next time she could get wasted.

In Bianka’s mind, there was nothing wrong with her excessive alcohol consumption. She was young, fun, enjoying her life, everyone drinks, it’s the Australian thing to do, there was no harm in it. Or was there?

Bianka’s wake up call came when she realised the severe affect it was having on her marriage, her health, and ultimately, her life.

Now 10 months sober, and feeling happier and healthier than ever before, she’s made it her life mission to help open the eyes of other young Australian men and women, duped by the alcohol industry into believing we have to drink, and we have to drink hard, to have a good time.

Bianka’s experience inspired her to co-host a miniseries as part of her podcast, We Want To Be Better about her relationship with alcohol, how it impacts every facet of our lives, along with interviews with experts in the field.

Bianka is a delight - I hope you enjoy this chat.
