Take a Break from Drinking

390: The Hourglass: What the Brain Learns


Listen Later

When you're bored it’s easy to be tempted by a drink. After all, a little buzz can help pass the time. But have you ever considered what your brain learns when you do this? 

 

You might be surprised to discover that the faster you reach for a drink when you’re bored by what you’re doing, the more intolerable boredom becomes. This is what happens when The Hourglass—one of the eight Drink Archetypes—is activated.

 

In today's episode, learn more about what The Hourglass teaches your brain and what you need to do if you want to drink less when boredom strikes.

 

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