3. Why We Drink (and Sometimes Overdrink)
Manage episode 477352842 series 3659589
Why do we drink—even when we don’t really want to?
In this episode, we take a step back and explore the deeper reasons behind our drinking habits. From social conditioning and family patterns to the brain’s reward system and automated behavior, I’ll walk you through the complex (and totally human) reasons alcohol becomes a go-to—even when it no longer serves us.
You’ll learn:
- how culture, media, and marketing normalize drinking;
- what alcohol actually does in the brain (and why it feels good at first);
- how repetition wires drinking into your daily routines;
- why none of this is your fault—and how to start unwiring the habit.
If you’ve ever wondered why it’s so hard to “just stop,” this episode will give you the answers.
