This episode discusses the upcoming Dry January, as sober curiosity and the trend of cutting back on alcohol are becoming more popular. I provide tips for drinking less and drinking better. I then delve into alcohol's impact on the gut microbiome, like causing inflammation, and its effects on the brain. I emphasize the importance of mindfulness when engaging with the drinking experience. I also share strategies for approaching Dry January with flexibility and setting realistic goals. Planning ahead, exercising discipline, and keeping a journal can help in drinking less. Finally, I explore mocktails and non-alcoholic alternatives as options for those looking to reduce their alcohol intake.
