Bitesize: Grey Area Drinking - The Hidden Cost of “Just One Drink”. How Alcohol Impacts Stress, Hormones & Confidence | Sarah Rusbatch


Listen Later

The bitesize this week comes courtesy of Angela's conversation with Sarah Rusbatch, in which they examine the complexities of alcohol consumption, particularly focusing on the concept of "grey area drinking," which exists between social drinking and severe alcohol use disorder. They discuss the societal pressures surrounding alcohol, the emotional reliance many individuals develop, and the challenges faced when attempting to quit drinking.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • Understanding Grey Area Drinking: Grey area drinking refers to a spectrum of alcohol consumption that falls between occasional drinking and severe alcohol use disorder. 
  • Social and Relationship Challenges: Individuals in the grey area often find it difficult to navigate social situations and relationships, especially if their friends or partners continue to drink. 
  • Importance of Community Support: Having a support system is crucial for those trying to reduce or eliminate alcohol consumption. 
  • Neurotransmitter Effects: Alcohol consumption affects neurotransmitters like GABA and dopamine, leading to a cycle of temporary relief followed by increased anxiety and cravings.
