Summary
Alcohol is involved in 28 percent of all fatal car accidents, 37 percent of all violent crime, and is responsible for an unknown number of mental and emotional health challenges. On the flip side, it also has a rich tradition of craftsmanship and cuisine, culture and celebration. In moderation, alcohol has pro-social benefits, lowers social anxiety, and is loved by billions.
If you’re one of those people who can have a drink now and then without much of a thought and certainly no problem, this podcast is not for you. If drinking is causing you to gain weight, struggle the next morning, or is creating big problems in your life and you want to stop, my guest on this week’s show can help.
Listen to learn
- Why social pressure to drink is stronger than almost all other lifestyle pressures
- Helpful language to use during a dry experiment
- How to “test the waters” of sobriety with a dry month or dry 3-month challenge
- The harsh reality of sober life in terms of friends and activities
