Take a Break from Drinking

389: The Mask: What the Brain Learns


Listen Later

Humans have a long history of using alcohol as “liquid courage.” But did you know this can actually make your insecurities and anxiety worse?

 

The Mask is one of eight Drink Archetypes, and it teaches your brain to associate a buzz with feeling confident around others. But when it feels like a drink is necessary to have fun, saying no will interfere with your desire to feel confident and enjoy yourself, making it difficult to abstain or moderate.

 

In this week’s episode, discover why the short-term confidence you can get from drinking can lead to increased anxiety over time and what to do to fix this.   

Take the free Drink Archetype quiz to understand your drinking patterns and how to address them effectively: http://drinktype.com
