Drinks anyone? In Season 4 – Episode 7 we talked about drinking habits of expats. There were many heartfelt responses from the group both in the public forum and sent privately to us as administrators. Other topics from the Two Fat Expats Facebook group this week, finding a Uni in the UK, facebook memories after relocation (and repatriation) and the sadness they bring, and the #metoo social media reach.

Hot Topic of the week was to do with drinking while in an expat environment and many of the associated issues. The group offered a lot of insight into this topic.
