DDG - Drinking
People drink for many reasons - do you know yours? There are both positives and negatives to drinking, the catch is that depending on your motivation for drinking - it can quickly become a slippery slope.
We know that stress and anxiety, which are a part of life, are reasons some people drink, and we also know that the pandemic has increased the stress and anxiety - which means that the risk for problem drinking has also increased. Even now as we return to more normal routines, there are still many concerns people have related to the everyday life stuff that continue to require coping strategies, and unfortunately, drinking is a coping strategy for many.
Listen to an in-depth discussion of what you need to consider when you are dealing with stress, when drinking might be getting to be a problem or what to look for when you think someone you know might need help.
