Am I alcohol dependent or do I just love wine?
In this honest and relatable chat, I reflect on my personal relationship with alcohol, my experience doing Dry January, and why I started questioning my approach to drinking. From exploring wellness culture and its impact on our habits to discussing how alcohol is viewed in different cultures, this video dives into the complexities of drinking in today’s world.
I share my journey toward a healthier approach to alcohol-without giving it up entirely-and talk about how I plan to enjoy wine in a more balanced way moving forward. Whether you’re rethinking your own habits or just curious about the topic, I hope my experiences resonate with you.
Let’s start a conversation! Share your thoughts on Dry January, wellness culture, or your relationship with alcohol in the comments below. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and join me for more honest lifestyle discussions.

Love your idea of asking yourself why you are reaching for the drink! I'm going to adopt that one ❤
Thanks Louisa! Glad something was useful in the video 😁
Hot honey can go on anything you have put honey on before lol
Good on you Ross!
@@ChasingSilverFish thanks!
Stayed there two weeks ago. 5 star? not for me, the staff on the booking in desk couldn’t have been more miserable, the rooms are dated, the food was atrocious in a freezing cold restaurant where everyone had to keep their coat on. They also have the cheek to charge you £10 for parking even if you’re staying there? The only good parts were the older guys on the doors who were really nice, and the driving range which was very good. Having just come back from abroad where we stayed in a 5 star hotel, Celtic Manor doesn’t rate above 3 for me!
Love this honest review, have to admit, a lot of this I agree with!
Keep going Ross. 😊
@@uhdadquestion thanks for the motivation! 🙌🤗
Lovely video guys! Thanks.
@@itsmetaran thank you! Appreciate you commenting 😊
Keep trying brother! TH-cam is hard (especially the mental health aspect), but don't give up! Love the vid.
@@TheVeganTravelShow it is! Glad you could relate. Appreciate the comment a lot. Your channel looks great btw.
Excited for the new channel. Please do keep posting everyday random life stuff here too. It's not messy, it's interesting and fun. The Honestly Ross brand lends itself well to changing topics 🥰 xx
@@melanieshanahan1176 thanks Mel 💕
Excited for your new channel! And don't forget your pro bono Somerset consultant is on hand whenever required!
Oh yes don't worry I'll be picking your brains on all things Somerset!
Honesty is the best policy. I don’t think having a variety is a bad thing, as long as you’re enjoying yourself making them 😊
Couldn't agree more!
@ 🙌🏼💜
Whilst I will be sad that your not putting as much content on this channel, I will certainly be following on with your Somerset journey! Really enjoyed all your videos this year and to see your channel and the quality of your videos grow has been a joy to watch. Good luck with your next venture and make sure to let all us originals know the new channel when you are ready to launch!
@@workerbee-yf6di that means a lot, thank you so much! I'm excited to share the new channel. The plan is get a few created and 'in the bank' before kicking it off!
I’ve loved watching your videos. The foodie ones, the honest ones and the travel. I forget you haven’t been doing it long, as the quality and editing is the same as the people I follow who have been doing it for years! Don’t give up and keep creating. Your niece loves watching too. I can’t believe how easy you make talking to a camera look. I tried it once, stiff as a board and robotic. A somerset channel will be fun to watch, count me in. X
Thanks Michelle that's really appreciated ☺️ xx
Happy New Year Sweet Heart!
Happy new year! Hope January is treating you well ☺️
@@HonestlyRoss started with a family wedding (my niece and new nephew) and I am just looking for at least one burst of joy each day. Your beautiful face and attitude is so lovely.
@@sealfan1000 that's a lovely way to start the year, I hope you all enjoyed the wedding. Love the idea of daily bursts of joy! That's such a good approach to find something that makes you happy each day. Your attitude sounds fantastic too 👌💕
Happy New Year Ross. Thanks for the update, really interesting to hear about your journey so far and the things you've learnt. I've often thought about starting a channel, but it's the negative comments that put me off. I think you have to be able to have a thick skin to cope with those and unfortunately, I don't! Definitely interested in the Somerset content and will be watching those videos when your new channel starts. 😃
You too Rich! Hope January 2025 has been ok so far? You could always try dabbling in content that's faceless, people do all sorts now. Generally everything I get is positive, it's just the odd one. I think everyone is sensitive to that kind of stuff, but don't let it hold you back if you're ever inspired to do it. Great to know you'd be interested in the Somerset channel! Thanks for watching.
@@HonestlyRoss 2025 has been OK so far thanks! Hope it has for you too. Yeah, you're probably right, I'll give it some more thought. Have a great day
Not me thinking you were going to bust into Girls Aloud when you paused at "the promise ... of Spring" 😂😂 your video on how you haven't found your tribe brought me here and I just subscribed! You seem like such a lovely person and you have a calming presence.
LOL I definitely should have. I was so conscious of the camera I didn't go for the karaoke moment. So glad you found that vid / the channel. Your comment has made my day. Welcome 🤗
Loved this video!
I always go out for a yellow sticker bargins and some of the deals in Sainsbury's are like CRAZY cheap😅
Nothing like the kick of a bargain 🤣 we've had some great stuff recently. Freezer full of it 👌👌
same 😅@@HonestlyRoss
Well done - I am moving there - thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it. You lucky thing 😁
Lucca is lovely 😍 👌 😊
Very beautiful. I'm missing it 🥰

Thanks for watching!
Loved this. Makes me want to visit so badly. Xx
🥐 Loved this video Ross! Perfect length and great editing 👌
@@louisawheeler9030 thanks Louisa ❤️
You two are always on such beautiful adventures, places I would never think to go! Glad you were able to enjoy your early birthday celebration and a belated Happy Birthday!
Not quite sure how we've managed to go away so much this year 😂 thank you 💕
🥐 omg Tuscanytastic ❤ Just coffee and gelato missing from this vlog. You'll have to go back! 😂🥐
@@suewheeler15 more than happy to go back! It was very cold for gelato (no excuse, I know)
@HonestlyRoss oh, and TELL ME you had limoncello while you were there 🍋😋
🥐 🥐👏👏👏 I do like a good travel vlog 😁 looks a lovely place to visit 😊
@@IXISSV glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching. It was a lovely place to spend a few days, especially around Christmas 🎄
Loved this video Ross! Editing was 10/10.
@@JoshuaVaughan-d1e thanks for noticing the editing 🥰
🥐🥐🥐
I work at Wetherspoons and they are severed in the wrong glass maybe that’s why it tastes watered down on some of them

It made me feel Christmassy editing it! 🎁🎅☃️🎄
Christmas sandwiches are a highlight of my year, you should really try the Pret A Mange sandwich as it's different from those you've tried and has cabbage and carrots and it is my favourite and would love your opinion on it. Your yellow coat is also fabulous, bet it cheers you up wearing that on a cold winter day tucking into a morrisons meal deal <3
We were considering doing a 'high street' Christmas sandwich type review and including pret. We don't have one very local but that sounds right up my street!! Supermarket ones got samey, as you saw. Thanks for sharing some love for the coat. I get so bored of coats and want new ones all the time which Josh gets mad at 🤣 hope you're doing well and have a nice run up to Christmas 🎄
christmas sucks its a load of rubbish be glad when its over
Don’t think animals celebrate Christmas
Waitrose still do a free coffee?! 🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍
They do when you buy something, you can get one after x
I really loved watching this, your natural authenticity shines through, even the 'self conscious', omissions, which I can totally relate too! The normalness of it is comforting xx
Thanks sues ❤️
Great vlog and wouldw definiteky want to see more, even though you've made me feel like I need to get a treadmill and do some more exercise! Hope you're both doing well 🍍
Exercising more is January's problem! 😂 We're both doing good. It's a busy time of year so trying not to get overwhelmed. How are you doing?
Haha, yes, agree, it can wait until January! Glad you're both doing well. I'm doing fine thanks. Know what you mean, I've got loads to do before Christmas work wise but luckily I've managed to buy all of the presents now so at least that's sorted,.
Fair play for getting all the prezzies done. Don't work too hard 😉
Thanks and I won't 😃. Hope you don't get too overwhelmed over the coming weeks. Will look forward to the next video. 👍
🍍 ❤
🍍 I have to ask why the pineapple emoji, very random Ross! Enjoyed the longer style vlog and having a little more insight into your life, glad to hear josh is well after his tests, do not know what is worse the fasting or no coffee.
Oddly enough the pineapple was the first thing that came to mind. I was clearly feeling fruity 🤣 thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the longer video 😁
This was lovely to watch. Like you say, it’s just nice to see ordinary people doing ordinary things. And people’s musings and projects. Your bedroom looks gorgeous. Glad to hear Josh is all good health wise and congrats to him on the secret news. Can’t wait to see you both soon. Love you to bits and love your vlogs. ❤❤❤
@@MichelleCollins-f3w thanks you! Love you too 😘
🍍❤ the vlogs!
thanks for watching all the way through! ❤️🍍🙌
HIYA! 🍍💡🎉👯♂️🎉💡🍍 I feel like a 🌟!
@@suewheeler15 😂
Love love love - you’ve done an amazing job. Can’t wait to enjoy the room in person. I thought panelling was really difficult, had no idea where to start. I’ve learnt something new today too ❤ xx
Thank you 😊 panelling was surprisingly easy it was measuring that was the hard bit!
I wrote a comment earlier but it seems to have disappeared! Just wanted to say what a fabulous home you are making, so brave with the colours and styles, brining some brightness to a world of grey and beige, I love it boys! Rugs are a pain, you could try those grips that keep it flat but not sure how they work on carpet, especially that beautiful loop you have.
Can't live without some colour! So happy you love it!! I'm gonna look into those grips, at the moment I'm rejigging the rug every hour it seems 🙄 thanks for commenting 🙂 xx
Woweee 🎉 looks amazing! And Sarah is stunning in her fairy-lit glory 🪴x
Very lovely video Ross! I wouldn’t have minded if it was a bit longer! I think the colours work really nicely and it feels cosy! Are you guys enjoying the space? Much love!
Thank you ❤️😊 and noted re video length. I try not to waffle and get to the point but this one ended up particularly short. We're loving it. Took a good while to settle in but now we've finished the living room we have a space to feel relaxed in whilst we chip away with the rest of the house. Appreciate the comment. Much love back x
Quite emotional seeing the before and after and what a process it’s been, thank you for capturing the memories ❤
We had a good giggle watching this video, you're so funny swanning around the place like a celeb, wine in hand 😂😂. We also really want to go there now xx
🤣 I'm glad I gave you a chuckle xx
☀️ ☀️ ☀️
The joy and beauty. Thank you, sweetheart for sharing. Treasure this.
Thank you for watching 😊❤️
☀️Marley and I loved this vlog. The seafood and pizzas and your burrito bowl!! ❤ the scenery is so beautiful. Definitely a place I’ve wanted to visit. Marley is asking why nanny and popper were in the video 😂
🤣 aww I bet that was hilarious when she realised they were in it. Thank you 😊 xx

Great vlog! Penderyn is a great whiskey, I only visited there about a month or so back when we were in the area! Bought back some great memories! Glad that you both had a great time
@@Gez-C haha what a coincidence - glad you could relive it! We picked up a bottle of the Portwood whisky (expensive but it was too good not to). Thanks for the comment and glad you enjoyed the vlog 😊
