It can be incredibly confusing to keep reaching for a drink when you're not even enjoying it that much. Maybe it doesn't taste as good as you expected, the buzz isn't delivering what you imagined, or you find yourself pouring another while wondering why you're doing it at all. This week, I'm answering a listener question about why we continue drinking when part of us doesn't even want it. We'll explore why focusing on everything you dislike about drinking may not give you the answers you're looking for, and why there's another side of the equation that's easy to overlook.
