experience with needing larger quantities of alcohol to feel its effects.

🎙️How alcohol affects the prefrontal cortex, impairing decision-making

abilities.

🎙️The artificial dopamine hit provided by alcohol is explored, along with

the body's craving for more.

🎙️When wanting more alcohol, it’s not a sign of weakness, but rather a

and suggests using that time to educate yourself about alcohol and sobriety.

podcasts focused on sober curiosity and mindful drinking, encouraging listeners
