352: Stop Thinking About Drinking with Belle Robertson

I love everything that's bad for me, and alcohol certainly falls under that umbrella. It's a love-hate relationship really, and I don't drink anymore. At this stage of my life, it's just not worth it. Am I boring and health-obsessed? Probably. But maybe you are too.

Here's what we know about booze: Sixty-one million Americans are classified as binge alcohol users and 16 million as heavy alcohol users. Alcohol plays a role in one in three cases of violent crimes, and 10,000 people die each year in alcohol-related car accidents in the U.S. alone.

But most people who drink too much or too often are not alcoholics, so the problem goes unaddressed and unresolved—and yet, the lifelong impact is massive. My guest on this week's podcast was an over-drinker who started a 30-day sober challenge that has lasted over six years. If you're concerned that you might be drinking too much or too often, this is an important show to listen to.

Listen & Learn:

  • The difference between high bottom drinking vs. low bottom drinking
  • How moderate drinking can be a story you tell yourself
  • Why alcohol can affect just about everyone
  • Why if you think you have a problem, you probably do
  • What life is like on the other side of the bottle
