Debunking the Myth of Heart-Healthy Alcohol

Episode Overview

  • Alcohol is often misleadingly marketed as heart-healthy.
  • People drink to escape, not to improve their cholesterol.
  • Misleading studies justify harmful drinking habits.
  • True cardiovascular health doesn't come from alcohol.
  • Practical advice on improving health without alcohol.
People do not drink alcohol because they want to boost their cardiovascular health. They drink because they are stuck in the liquid lie
Ever wondered why there's always another article popping up claiming that alcohol is good for your heart? In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, Lee Davy tackles this controversial topic head-on. He questions the real motives behind these so-called 'scientific' studies that suggest moderate alcohol consumption benefits cardiovascular health. With his usual blend of humour and hard-hitting truths, Lee dismantles the myth of 'heart-healthy alcohol' and exposes the dangers of such misleading narratives.
He argues that people don't drink to improve their cholesterol levels—they drink to escape, to numb the pain, or to feel a sense of belonging. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who's ever justified their drinking habits with the excuse that it's 'good for their heart'. Lee also shares practical advice on how to genuinely improve your cardiovascular health without relying on a substance that causes more harm than good.
It's an eye-opening discussion that will make you rethink the stories you've been told about alcohol and health. Ready to break free from the liquid lie? Tune in to find out how.
