Meet Eddie Lopez

I’m Eddie, the guy behind Whiskey’d & Uncensored. I have a habit of looking at the latest dating trend and asking, “Are we really doing this shit now?” Then I write about it until I’ve either found the point or made myself laugh. Usually both.

I’m interested in the stuff people actually talk about after the polite conversation ends: terrible first dates, relationship rules that seem to change every Tuesday, sex, double standards, and the little lies we tell ourselves when we know damn well what’s going on. If a topic makes someone say, “You can’t write that,” there’s a decent chance I’m already working on a headline.

Whiskey’d started as a podcast—friends, drinks, microphones, and conversations that occasionally went somewhere none of us expected. I eventually found that writing gave me more room to chase an idea, sharpen the jokes, and say what I meant without someone talking over me. The format changed. The curiosity didn’t.

I write from a guy’s point of view, which means I’ll sometimes defend the guy everyone has already decided is an asshole. I’ll also say when he’s being one. I’m not here to hand out perfect relationship advice from a mountaintop. I’m here to look at the ridiculous ways we date, argue, flirt, screw up, and try again—and make it entertaining enough that you’ll want to send the post to a friend.

Pour whatever you’re drinking and stick around. There’s plenty to talk about.
