Pour Me Another: A Candid Discussion About Alcohol with Phil & Kate.
Phil, American Yogi, and Dr. Kate Pate stopped by the show for a very candid discussion on alcohol. We discuss our own battles, going cold-turkey, how much is too much, moderation, methods to curb drinking, stigma, and a ton of other topics about drinking. This was a very personal episode for me, and I thank Phil & Kate for listening.
We’re all not the same. From the MAYO CLINIC: Genetic, psychological, social and environmental factors can impact how drinking alcohol affects your body and behavior. Theories suggest that for certain people drinking has a different and stronger impact that can lead to alcohol use disorder.Over time, drinking too much alcohol may change the normal function of the areas of your brain associated with the experience of pleasure, judgment and the ability to exercise control over your behavior. This may result in craving alcohol to try to restore good feelings or reduce negative ones.
