It can feel very isolating and it can feel like I'm in this by myself and nobody else knows what this is like. So please don't feel alone if this is something that is a struggle for you and stay safe this St Patrick's day.
St. Patrick's Day often brings to mind images of green beer and festive celebrations, but there's a darker side to this holiday that many might overlook. In this episode of The Banyan Podcast, therapist and LCSW Savannah Deiser sheds light on the short-term and long-term risks of binge drinking. With her expert perspective, Savannah breaks down what binge drinking really entails—five or more drinks in two hours for men, and four or more for women—and why it's so harmful.
Savannah doesn't just talk statistics; she dives into the real-life consequences of excessive drinking. From liver damage and unintentional injuries in the short term to high blood pressure and memory issues down the line, the risks are numerous and severe. But it’s not just about the physical health impacts. Savannah also discusses the cultural pressures that make binge drinking seem like a rite of passage, especially among young adults and college students.
What makes this episode particularly engaging is Savannah's practical advice on recognizing the warning signs of binge drinking. She emphasizes that it's not just about the number of drinks but also about patterns of behavior, such as consistently failing to stick to set limits. For those who find themselves in this cycle, she offers a beacon of hope by highlighting the resources available at Banyan Treatment Centers. As St.
Patrick's Day approaches, Savannah encourages listeners to think twice about their drinking habits. Whether it's finding alternative ways to celebrate or simply being more mindful of one's limits, there are safer ways to enjoy the festivities. Her insights serve as a timely reminder that binge drinking isn't just a harmless part of growing up; it can have life-altering consequences. Tune in to hear Savannah's invaluable advice and learn how to make healthier choices this St. Patrick's Day and beyond.
