This week on the podcast I'm getting ready for all the opportunities to overdrink in December and revisiting an episode from early 2023 that has been a very popular episode over time called Chasing the Buzz. We're talking science, but we're also talking about mindset and belief. Ready to set yourself up for success in December? This episode just might help.

So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★
