Nothing should keep guys from living kick-ass lives.
Not even booze.
Alcohol is everywhere, and it’s never been cooler.
Craft breweries have popped up on every corner. Celebrities are pitching their high-end spirits brands. Business meetings seem to require having a drink in hand.
Heck, even kids’ birthday parties are an excuse to drink these days.
Meanwhile, all this recreational drinking is clobbering us dudes…and we don’t even realize it.
We have crappy sleep, and we blame our stress.
We’re feeling stressed at work, and we blame our boss.
We get back bad blood work, and we blame it on getting older.
We can’t lose the extra pounds, and we blame it on our schedules.
It never crosses our minds that our regular, semi-responsible drinking could be to blame.
(News flash – it is.)
Booze Vacation is calling BS on business as usual with booze.
Regular drinking at “socially acceptable” levels is the norm, but it comes with a cost. The effects on the brain and body trash guys’ potential in the short term, and accelerate chronic disease in the long term.
We’ve had enough. We think every dude deserves to kick ass and take names as long as possible, not limp along with a drink in one hand and some prescriptions in the other.
That’s why we work with men to help them take off their beer goggles and smash through incredible levels of personal and professional success. Guys that work with us find that they:
Look and feel better in their 40s and 50s than they did in their 20s.
Are more present and engaged with their families and communities.
Have more calm and collected days, and more restful and enjoyable nights.
Ditch the weight, improve their bloodwork, and overhaul their health
Make more money, more of a difference, and have a hell of a lot more fun in the process.
To reclaim your edge, taking an extended break from drinking is the one thing that changes everything.
Men’s health statistics are sobering. Over 90% of guys show signs of metabolic dysfunction — the leading indicator of all types of chronic disease.
But here’s the real kick in the nuts: it’s impossible to fix this while regularly drinking 5-20+ drinks / week.
That’s the dirty little secret your doctor won’t tell you.
Look, we like an occasional tasty brew as much as the next guy. We’re not pointing fingers or pushing lifetime sobriety. F#@! that! We just know that if a guy wants to be healthy for the long haul, he has to take alcohol out of the mix for a bit.
Oh, and there’s one more thing.
He’s also got to use his break as leverage for massively upgrading his life.
At Booze Vacation, we help our clients do just that.
“All of my evening activities seemed to center around booze. On my Booze Vacation, not only did I feel amazing, I realized that it’s not the booze that makes those events fun.”

Clifford Stephan
Founder & Chief Vacation Officer
By my mid-40s, I realized my regular, semi-responsible drinking was setting me on a path to being besties with my doctor and pharmacist. I didn’t want compounding health issues to steal everything I’d worked so hard for. So I did the unthinkable. I took a year-long break from booze. I called it my “booze vacation.”
That year off reset my body – and my relationship with booze. It also made me really not cool with all the bullshit around alcohol that keeps dudes stuck in mediocrity. So I founded Booze Vacation to help more guys take a break, get healthier, and find incredible levels of success.
