Do you believe that you need to have a drink to take the edge off?  This episode is all about the relationship between alcohol and anxiety. 

We'll dive into the science of alcohol and how it effects neurotransmitters in the brain.  The therapeutic benefits of alcohol are limited to only one drink when it comes to relaxation.

There is a rebound effect of alcohol when alcohol is dissipating from your system and your brain releases excitatory neurotransmitters in an attempt to counteract the depressant actions of alcohol. 

Often times we believe that we need another drink to relieve the anxiety that we caused by drinking in the first place. It can become an endless cycle. 

Drinking alcohol can increase anxiety in the brain and learning the science behind that helped me change my relationship with alcohol.
