Nothing should keep guys from living Kick-Ass lives.
Not even booze.
Alcohol is everywhere, and it’s never been cooler.
New craft breweries are popping up on every corner. Celebrities are investing in high-end spirits. The tequila shortage is real.
Heck, even kids’ birthday parties are an excuse to drink these days.
Meanwhile, the effects of all this recreational drinking are 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 kick 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 getting in the way of more of us kicking-ass for longer.
We’ve had enough. We think every dude deserves the chance to take off his beer goggles so he can smash through incredible levels of personal and professional success:
To look and feel better in their 40s and 50s than in their 20s.
To be more present and engaged with their families and communities.
To have more calm and collected days, and more restful enjoyable nights.
To ditch the weight, improve their bloodwork, and overhaul their health
To make more money, more of a difference, and have a hell of a lot more fun in the process.

Big things happen when a guy takes an extended break from drinking.
That’s why we’re talking a lot of shit about dudes and booze. Guys need to be educated on what’s really going on.
And that’s why we make it easy for guys to successfully take a break and upgrade their lives.
Booze Vacation isn’t about pushing sobriety or pointing fingers. F that.
It’s about upgrading your life. For good.
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 my 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.
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 us dudes stuck in mediocrity. So I founded Booze Vacation to help more guys take a break, get healthier, and find incredible levels of success.”
