However good it feels when you have that first drink of the day, you will feel better than that when you are not drinking all the time, and you will have bad days and you won't always feel on top of the world.
Ever wondered what really happens in your body and mind when you take that first sip of alcohol? Vic and Lucy invite their first guest, William Porter, to 'Sober Awkward' to shed light on this very question. William, the author of the popular 'Quit Lit' book 'Alcohol Explained,' dives into the nitty-gritty of a drinker's daily routine.
From the initial euphoria to the inevitable anxiety-ridden hangover, this episode breaks down the chemical, physiological, and psychological factors at play when alcohol is consumed. William explains why moderation often fails, how sleep deprivation fuels overdrinking, and what’s truly going on in our brains with each drink. This chat isn't just informative; it's a must-listen for anyone considering an alcohol-free life. Vic and Lucy's humor and honesty make even the heavy topics accessible and engaging.
So, if you're curious about the science behind your cravings or need some motivation to quit, this episode is packed with insights that could change your perspective.
