When we quit drinking as we move into the future, we're more and more inclined to look back on our drinking years fondly and think: oh, it wasn't as bad as I thought. But when we stop drinking, we then start looking at drinking and idolizing it.
Ever wondered why we reach for that drink? William Porter, author of 'Alcohol Explained', joins Sharon Hartley and Ben Anderson on 'Over The Influence' to unravel the science behind our drinking habits. This episode dives deep into the nitty-gritty of alcohol's effects on the body and mind, offering a fresh perspective on why moderation can be so challenging. William’s insights aren’t just academic; they’re practical tools for anyone on an alcohol-free journey.
Sharon and Ben kick things off by sharing how William’s book was a game-changer for them, shedding light on the hidden mechanics of alcohol addiction. From there, William breaks down the psychological and physiological reasons why we drink, and why giving up alcohol can lead to profound personal growth. The conversation also touches on the social hurdles of sobriety—like how to handle those awkward moments at parties without a drink in hand.
By understanding the science, listeners can reframe their relationship with alcohol and make more informed choices. This episode is packed with valuable takeaways, whether you're sober curious or fully committed to an alcohol-free lifestyle.
