Drink About It

We’re back, mildly hungover and continuing our pop girl post-mortem – rating, reviewing, and roasting everything. Not only do we add a few new It girls to the agenda, we keep working through the longlist from Rosalía’s divine era to Doja Cat’s misunderstood masterpiece. We listened so you don’t have to. Follow or slide into our DMs: Ibrah — @the_hashishMel — @msmel0die Always practice safe sips 🥂

We listened so you don’t have to. This week Mel and Ibrah rate, review, and roast their way through the year’s biggest pop releases, from Addison Rae’s surprise slay to Teyana Taylor’s visual fever dream and Kiki Palmer’s demo reel detour. They call out the chaos that is 2025's biggest pop girl release and praise the few bangers that survived the mess. This episode is extra long and this is pa...

It's the most wonderful time of the year and this week, Mel and Ibrah go full spooky-season delulu as they investigate who’s really dying, who’s getting away with it, and who might be hosting a seance about it. From Brandy and Caitlyn Jenner’s car crashes to Tupac, Marilyn, and Princess Diana conspiracies, they spiral through hit-and-runs, cults and secret societies. It's a hot mess, but s...

After two years of ranking, dragging, and defending the pop girlies, Mel and Ibrah are back to see if their hottest takes still hold up in The It Girl Report Card. From Normani’s pivot to Sabrina’s TikTok reign, they revisit every bold prediction they made last year. Follow or slide into our DMs: Ibrah — @the_hashish Mel — @msmel0die Always practice safe sips 🥂

Your fav chaotic duo celebrates two years of Drink About It with Truth Serum a game of random questions, questionable answers, and mild self-reflection. Mel’s lip is fighting for its life, Ibrah’s on a “PR tour,” and together they’re spilling their summer confessions, ranking their chaos, and predicting which celebrities might crumble before Christmas. Happy Anniversary y'all. Follow or slide...

After a long summer break, your favs have returned in full chaotic glory with a whirlwind catch-up on everything that broke the internet and them this summer. From Coachella’s lineup drama, Cardi B’s courtroom memes and tour plans, Coldplay’s PR scandals, the rise (and fall) of certain white women. We're sharing our POV on the stalest of tea, because we know you want to know how we feel. Follo...

Lying about cancer, cheating your way into college, anti semitic merch drops, feeling broke, maybe even murder nothing seems to be off-limits anymore. So we’re asking Ibrah's favourite question: is it time to bring back public shaming!!! This week, we trace the downfall of cancel culture and the rise of shamelessness with a side of a fun little game called Crisis Control, where we put our PR h...

This one’s for the girlies with notifications on, a WeVerse account, at least two tour tickets and a bank account in shambles. Ibrah is away so Mel FINALLY gets to do an episode about her deepest passion, being a stan.  She's joined by the Hive's finest to discuss, our stan origin stories, just how much time, money, and emotional stability we’ve sacrificed for our craft and whether stannin...

We’re only a few months into 2025 and we’ve already had enough. The vibes? Non-existent . The drops? Mid at best. In this episode, we ask the hard questions, Why does Mel only have 8 songs in her monthly playlist? Who asked for Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum to release an album? Is rap dead?  And most importantly, will we have a chance to shake ass this summer!?!? The forecast is not looking good so...

This week, we’re catching up on everything we missed, and hun it’s been a lot. The meltdowns (ours and the celebs’), the scandals, the breakups and the pop culture moments that had us spiralling at 2 AM, we’re back on our bullshit. Grab a drink and let’s get into it! 🍸

And just like that, we’ve made it to the final fire pit… 🏝️🔥 This season has been moving mad , and we’re here to break it all down. Who’s actually lasting on the outside? Who’s got a brand deal waiting at the airport ? And who left way too soon? Plus, we’re diving into Liv’s bombshell receipts , the in-fighting, the downfall of the show, and the moments that had us gagged . One last debrief befor...

Listen, before you come for us, do not fact-check Mel , I beg. She came with the receipts, but they might be giving Tesco Value , so let’s just vibe . 😅 This week, we’re diving into Love Island and race, from the POC tropes (token bestie? Punching bag? We see it) to the interracial dating patterns that keep repeating every season. We’re also talking about who secured the bag and who got left behi...

First things first we’d like to thank Beyoncé. And next, a round of applause for the Recording Academy for actually stepping their game up and giving us a show worth talking about! We couldn’t help ourselves, we had to dive into the Grammy shenanigans. The wins, the snubs, the performances that had us gagged, and the moments that almost made us believe in the Academy again. 🎶💃 Grab a drink and l...

I don’t know if we’re master manifesters or just straight-up psychic, but somehow, we keep predicting the villa antics week after week. But the real shocker? A Drink About It episode where we actually… praise men. Yeah, we didn’t see that one coming either. Not much more to say, really—just don’t mug us off for it. We might not always know who’s who, but allegedly, we don’t hate them. 👀😂 🔥🍹🏝️...

From a game-changing, taste-making, genre-defying TV phenomenon to a global franchisee with a lacklustre impact, being outshone by your American counterpart... It’s tough being an Islander these days! And it’s even harder being a woman in the villa! Maintaining a certain aesthetic and lifestyle both inside the villa and beyond it is honestly something to drink about. This week, we’re joined by the...

Huns, we're back!!!! And trust us, you’re not ready for our latest shenanigans. Love Island season is basically the Drink About It Superbowl, so for the next 5 weeks, we’ll be cracking on with all things All Stars. You’re welcome 💅🏽 This week, we’re kicking things off with our predictions, favorite Islanders, and who we’d proper mug off if we had the chance. Grab your bevvies and buckle up, this...

It's mid-December, life is life-ing , and we're actually out in the streets living our best lives. So, instead of diving into a full topic, we're kicking off a new series: the Drink About It Happy Hour ! Our Happy Hour is an extended version of Ibrah's pop culture updates, and today's special is 80% Spotify Wrapped and 20% everything else, we had fun with it. Enjoy. Follow us or slide into our DMs...

Hear me out, Rogan, Dave Portnoy, and Theo Von are the founding fathers of the manosphere and are responsible for the rise of republicanism among Gen-Z & Millennials. Hot take I know, but today your favs fight about it and spend way too long making their case on if being a tradwife centers around men or women. This may be the last thing y’all want to hear after your thanksgiving dinner debates...

Since it's dark, damp, and downright depressing right now, we're dreaming of a different world—one with the sun beating down, a sandy beach, and unlimited cocktail refills. Or, if you're Ibrah, kite surfing on a pink beach in Brazil. Mentally, we're in summer 2025.  This week, we break down our travel mindsets, ultimate travel destinations, and even where we'd go for medical tourism.  If you want...

And because we're the best nobodies you know, we decided to join the fun! Welcome to Part 1 of the First Annual Drink About It Awards. After setting the scene with the Grammy nominations and spilling the lukewarm tea from the EMAs, we dive into our official awar...

From Eddie Murphy and J-Lo to Katy & Christina why is everyone trying to get down with the kids when they are ready for retirement? This week Ibrah and Mel unpack the art of the comeback, why people need to act their age if they want to stay relevant and why becoming a Yu-Gi-Oh Shadow Dualist is the best way to soft...

Like all good twenty-somethings, Ibrah and Mel have some problematic hot takes that they keep in their group chats. But this is the official launch of Drink About Season 4, so we’re celebrating by airing out our dirty laundry, standing on business when we have no business doing so, and doing it with one of our best friends—a serious pop culture girlie, the lovely Georgiana!!!

Welcome to the sequel nobody asked for but everyone needed, our extended cut of our iconic pop girls are fighting episode. This week instead of ranking and rating, we take a look at all of the gworls on the list and share our honest thoughts on their new releases.
