Then, if I'm aware of it, I might even ask myself the question, what am I asking this drink to do for me?

In other words, what purpose does it serve in my life?

If I reach for a glass of water, I'm thirsty, I know I need to hydrate,

The purpose of drinking the glass of water is to hydrate my system, which is made up of mostly water and it needs more water.

Very clear.

If I have a headache and I reach for two aspirins, I'm saying to those aspirins,

I have pain in my head and I want you to go in there and reduce the pain.

Everything that we ingest, we ingest because there's a reason behind it.

We don't just blindly lay on the ground, open our mouths and everything that comes in, we swallow.

Our eating is purposeful.

Now, some of it is because we naturally are hungry and the body knows it needs fuel.

So when we're doing that kind of eating, we're saying, I need fuel, I'm eating you, you go in there and provide fuel for me.

When you're wanting more of a gastronomical meal, you're combining fuel

with sensuality that we call taste, so we're enjoying the fuel as it's coming in.

When we're reaching for mind-altering substances, such as alcohol, we are making a very specific request.

It's not the same request every time, and it's not the same request for all people.

Some people may be drinking because they want to numb themselves because they have internal pain.

Somebody else may be drinking to loosen their inhibitions because they know they, quote, loosen up with alcohol.

Some people drink alcohol because they think that it gives them more energy for a certain period of time, the sugar.

So there are different reasons for drinking.
