Finding Calm: Understanding Alcohol’s Role in Stress Relief

When you learn this cycle, you will actually need less relief, because you won't have as many negative emotions, I promise.
Ever reached for a drink to take the edge off after a long day? In this episode of 'The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast', host Molly Watts dives into why we often turn to alcohol for relief from stress and anxiety. She unpacks the science behind how alcohol affects our brain, explaining why that first drink might make us feel relaxed, but more than one can lead to increased anxiety as the effects wear off.
Molly also delves into cultural norms like 'happy hour' and how these societal cues reinforce our drinking habits. By understanding these factors, Molly offers practical advice on how to break the cycle and find healthier ways to cope with stress. Whether you're a habitual drinker or have a history of alcoholism in your family, this episode provides valuable insights and actionable tips to help you foster a more peaceful relationship with alcohol.
