Journey to the Sunnyside | Mindful Drinking & Alcohol Health · 14 Unexpected Ways Life Gets Easier When You Drink Less (Part 1) · 29 Jun 2026 podcast

You end up sleeping lighter, you wake up tired, then coffee has to basically drag you through the morning. voice-verified

And then that caffeine over the day can make you feel more wired. voice-verified

It can also make you crash in the afternoon. voice-verified

So then by evening, you want something to take that edge off. voice-verified

And guess what? voice-verified

Alcohol is right there again. voice-verified

So it's not just I want some wine tonight. voice-verified

The actual reality might be more like I'm using alcohol to come down from a day that caffeine helped me to survive because alcohol made my sleep worse the night before. voice-verified

And as you can see, that's a loop. voice-verified

And when you drink less, sometimes you'll even notice by default that voice-verified

That coffee habit, if you have one. voice-verified

is starting to shift on its own because the morning it doesn't feel like you need to rescue yourself from voice-verified

And they assume it's food or stress or, you know, that spicy dinner or maybe just part of getting older. voice-verified

And it bumps up acid production at the same time, which is why reflux can show up for some people, especially in the middle of the night, which then also contributes to poor sleep. voice-verified
