Alcohol Minimalist: Mindful Drinking & Behavior Change23 Mar 2022

Alcohol & Relationships

This week on the podcast, a new addition to the "Alcohol &" series. I'm talking about Alcohol & Relationships.

How does your relationship with alcohol impact your other relationships?

Do you feel like your significant other isn't supportive of you changing your drinking habits?

What about your friends? How does drinking alcohol affect your friendships?

And are you someone who can't imagine family gatherings without alcohol?

I'm talking it about it all on this week's show!

Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:

Healthy men under 65:

No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.

Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older: No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.

One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.

Abstinence from alcohol Abstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.

Benefits of “low-risk” drinking Following these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work.

If you' are unsure about whether or not you have alcohol use disorder, please visit the NIAAA for more information.
