Ark Behavioral Health is giving away a scholarship of $1,000 to help pay for books, tuition, or daily expenses. We’re asking students to answer the question “How does the ‘Sober Curious’ Movement Challenge Traditional Ideas of the College Experience?” in 600-800 words.
‘Sober Curious’ & The College Experience
The idea of being ‘sober curious’ was initially popularized by author Ruby Warrinton in her book, “Sober Curious: The Blissful Sleep, Greater Focus, Limitless Presence, and Deep Connection Awaiting Us All on the Other Side of Alcohol.
Since the book’s publication in 2018, the sober curious movement has taken off around the country, especially among younger generations and college students.
For students, the college experience is sometimes synonymous with party-going and drinking alcohol to excess. One national survey saw a third of all full-time college students admit to binge drinking in the past month.
This essay asks you to explore how being ‘sober curious’ challenges heavy alcohol use on campus, and what it means for college students to practice mindful drinking.
