Dodging Consequences: The Real Costs of Alcohol and Drug Use

Why do some people continue to drink or use drugs despite knowing the risks? In this episode, Andrew J. Schreier tackles this perplexing question. The discussion reveals that the anticipated consequences of alcohol and drug use don't affect everyone the same way. For some, the perceived risks aren't enough to deter them, while others believe they can outsmart the system and avoid any fallout.
This episode dives into these varied experiences and perceptions, shedding light on why certain deterrents fail to work universally. Andrew and his expert guests explore the hidden costs of this mindset, including the long-term impacts on health, relationships, and overall well-being. If you're curious about why consequences don't always hit home or want to understand the deeper costs of addiction, this episode offers a compelling listen.
Perfect for anyone touched by addiction, whether personally or professionally, this conversation promises to be both eye-opening and thought-provoking.
