Description

YOUR DATA, YOUR CHOICE: WEIGH UP THE TRUE IMPACT OF DRINKING FROM LIGHT – MEDIUM – HEAVY DAYS WITH THE DRINKING IMPACT CALCULATOR AT https://mindfuldrinkinginmidlife.com/products/drinking-impact-calculator

On Day Twelve of the Mindful Drinking Advent Series, we explore the magic of that first sip — the exhale, the shoulder-drop, the tiny moment of relief we’ve spent years associating with alcohol. 

This episode explains why the first and second drinks do the heavy lifting, and why everything after that is just chasing a feeling your brain can no longer deliver. 

Learn to slow down, savour, stop at one or two, and switch to low/no or functional drinks that keep the ritual without the consequences. 

A practical, science-backed guide to staying in control while still enjoying the moment. 

Ep#45 - 5 brand new functional spirits from Smiling Wolf
