In this episode of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast, host Patrick Fox introduces the concept of 'Addiction to Disgust'. Drawing inspiration from Chris van Tulleken's work on ultra-processed foods, Patrick explores how disgust can be a powerful tool in rethinking one's relationship with alcohol. By creating strong negative associations with alcohol, Patrick suggests that you can shift your perception and ultimately curb your desire to drink.
He shares personal anecdotes and examples from his own journey, including how learning that alcohol is essentially ethanol – a component of plane and car fuel – helped him view drinking in a new, unappealing light. Patrick also delves into the physiological impacts of alcohol, such as its role as a carcinogen and its detrimental effects on the brain and gut.
Through relatable stories and practical advice, Patrick encourages you to reflect on your own experiences with alcohol and consider how feelings of disgust might help you break free from its grip.
