Okay.

So like an anxious system is so fundamental to like the human species you're saying that it just goes – it's online at all times.

Yeah, I mean, about one in four people who have some sort of anxiety disorder

they confess at least to self-medicating with alcohol, right?

And it's honestly probably much higher than that just because it's so accessible.

And you're right.

There's such a quick fix.

It is a quick fix.

It works in the short run.

The problem is, is the bounce back.

There's an overcorrection towards the other way.

If you're paying attention and you've done this before, you know this is what happens, right?

I was talking about, you know, I've had panic attacks before.

I had some anxiety around things.

I noticed, too, that after like a heavy night of drinking, the next two or three days my anxiety was just off the wall.

Wow.

Right?

It was terrible.

It gets a little bit more complicated than that, though, as well because your motivation for drinking actually does matter here to some extent.

If you are drinking because of your anxiety, there's usually a hard bounce back from that.
