I honestly think if we had a list of the reasons why we would drink, then the list of the reasons what's bad about drinking and why you wouldn't drink, the list of the reasons why you wouldn't and what's bad about it would be 10 times longer than the good reasons. And I think that says everything.
What if the joys we associate with alcohol aren't as genuine as we think? In this episode of 'Better Today', John Leaver takes a deep dive into the role alcohol plays in our lives. He doesn't just scratch the surface; he digs into his own experiences and societal norms to ask some hard-hitting questions. Is alcohol really the key to happiness, or have we been led to believe that by clever marketing and social pressures?
John shares candid stories from his own journey, highlighting moments where he questioned the true value of drinking. He brings to light the often-overlooked drawbacks and invites listeners to rethink their relationship with alcohol. Through heartfelt reflections and relatable scenarios, John paints a picture of a life where joy and fulfillment aren't tied to a drink.

Whether you're someone who enjoys a casual drink or someone who's questioning their habits, John's insights offer a fresh perspective. He challenges us to consider if the perceived benefits of alcohol are worth the potential downsides, paving the way for a more authentic and enriched way of living. If you've ever wondered if life could be just as sweet—or even sweeter—without alcohol, this episode is for you.
