It's neuroscience-y, but it's also an easy read.

Right up my street.

No, but honestly, right up my street.

For me, I mean.

I'm obviously not a scientist.

So for me, it was a welcome read because I was so fascinated by it that I flipped through it in kind of no time.

And it's all about kind of, you know, spikes in dopamine and how toxins and alcohol make you feel.

But actually the result of...

what drinking actually does to your brain.

And I think the more educated I've become about it, the less keen I am to be involved with it in that big scale anyway.

This is alcohol, I mean, because realistically, and I'm sure I'm not ringing any alarm bells here, it's really bad for you.

And I'm very interested in my health.

So in the same way that I'll have a fried chicken sandwich every so often, I might also have a beer every so often.

It's not a very big deal to me.

And if it did feel like a big deal, I would stop.

So, you know, I am conscious of it, though, like very conscious of it, you know, and I wouldn't I wouldn't ever want to threaten where I've got to.

And I don't mean that in a kind of success scale.

I just mean so much good work has been achieved in the last few years.

And I know that, you know, drinking could destroy that if I let it.

So I think just being aware of it has been helpful.
