Are you ready to have some of your false beliefs about alcohol blown out of the water?

Then you have to tune into this week's episode of The Alcohol ReThink podcast where Patrick is joined by stop-drinking expert and author of the highly successful quit-lit books Alcohol Explained 1&2, William Porter.

William knows his shit when it comes to the impact of alcohol on the human body.

In this episode, Patrick and William go to work on busting some false beliefs about alcohol, backed up by science and data.

They explore the importance of sleep, how we are designed to fall asleep and the cognitive dissonance we experience when using alcohol to induce sleep.

They look at the impact of alcohol on your heart, the benefits you experience when stopping and how to continue building on your progress beyond Dry January.

This is one cracker of an episode. Listen now.

Some of the cool things they covers during this episode:

- Going from ‘I want to stop’ to ‘I have to stop!’

- The difference between sleep and alcohol induced unconsciousness

- How your sleep returns to it’s normal rhythm after 3-5 days

- Using data to disprove your belief systems around alcohol and it’s function
