What does “drink less” actually mean?In this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist podcast, Molly explores the changing alcohol guidelines and why there isn't one simple number that guarantees a “safe” level of drinking.She breaks down the difference between a standard drink and what's actually in your glass, explains why alcohol-related risk exists on a continuum, and shares a more useful question than, “How much am I allowed to drink?”Instead, consider:What is the lowest amount of alcohol that still gives me what I value without creating consequences I don't want?You'll learn:What counts as a standard drinkWhy higher-ABV drinks can add up quicklyWhy alcohol guidelines aren't guaranteesHow to think about alcohol risk more realisticallyHow to find your own “minimum effective dose”Why tracking your real drinking patterns can help you make better decisionsAlcohol Minimalism isn't about following someone else's perfect number. It's about removing excess alcohol from your life so alcohol doesn't remove you from your life.Until next time, choose peace.Resources Mentioned: More Sober OctoberSunnyside MedLow risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

How do you quit drinking when your job is getting other people to drink? For years, that was Kelly's daily reality. She sampled wine and liquor with retailers all day, then went out drinking with her coworkers once the samples were done, and some nights she couldn't drive home afterward. She kept a tablecloth in the back seat of her car for exactly those nights, climbing back there to sleep it off instead of getting behind the wheel. Quitting drinking while working in alcohol sales meant unlearning her entire job description, and almost ten months later, she no longer needs that tablecloth.  Kelly and Coach Cole discuss: Growing up with wine treated as a nightly ritual, and how that shaped her first years of drinking Losing her senior season and her team captaincy after one night out with alcohol What working in alcohol sales and distribution did to her drinking, and what daily industry culture looked like from the inside Tracking her drinks in an app and mistaking a lower number for freedom Learning to treat a slip as a data point instead of a reason to quit trying Naming her drunk self "Kelly Lynn," and what it took to stop holding her at arm's length And more on rediscovering travel, music, and finding her way back to who she was before alcohol took over… Ready to take the next step?

This may be one of those episodes you are tempted to skip because nobody really wants to hear that their nightly glass of wine could be working against them. But this is not a lecture about why you should never drink again. In this episode, I'm having a very honest conversation about alcohol, especially for women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond. We talk about how drinking may affect sleep, cortisol, cravings, estrogen metabolism, liver health, insulin sensitivity, weight loss, and the way your body handles stress as you move through perimenopause and menopause. But this conversation goes much deeper than calories and hormones. I share my own history with alcohol, addiction, social pressure, unhealthy relationships, and the moment I realized I had to break the cycle for my daughter. We talk about why drinking can become such an easy way to numb stress, dissatisfaction, loneliness, relationship problems, motherhood, or simply a life that does not feel the way we want it to. The goal is not to shame you into quitting. It is to help you become honest about what alcohol is giving you, what it may be taking from you, and whether it is still serving the woman you are becoming. In this episode, we cover: Why alcohol can become harder to tolerate in midlife The connection between alcohol, cortisol, and stress Why drinking may worsen sleep even when it helps you fall asleep How poor sleep can affect hunger, cravings, insulin sensitivity, and weight Alcohol and estrogen metabolism Why drinking may make midlife weight loss harder The social pressure women face when they decide to stop drinking My personal history with alcohol and addiction Why alcohol can become a tool for avoiding uncomfortable parts of life How drinking can affect relationships, parenting, and self-identity The moment I knew I needed to break the cycle for my daughter How to start examining why you drink Finding your personal leverage for cutting back or quitting Why addressing the reason you drink matters more than sheer willpower Who This Episode Is For This episode is for the woman who tells herself she only drinks to unwind. Maybe it is one glass of wine after work. Maybe it is a few drinks on the weekend. Maybe you know you are drinking more than you would like, but you are not sure you are ready to look too closely at why. It is especially for midlife women who are struggling with stubborn weight gain, poor sleep, anxiety, stress, hormone symptoms, or feeling disconnected from themselves and wondering whether alcohol may be playing a bigger role than they realized.     Sponsors Need help with your adrenals?

Jan spent years chasing a good time without much of a direction for his life. Acid, ecstasy, whippets and heavy drinking eventually became multiple DUIs and a growing realization that the life he was living wasn't sustainable. He moved around, tried to stop, started again, and eventually spent two years using meth before everything finally came crashing down.On June 20, 2016, Jan went to treatment in Canada. He has not used drugs or alcohol since.After getting sober, Jan moved to San Diego and began building the kind of life he never really had a roadmap for. Today, he works as a clinician and program manager at a treatment center, where he helps men work through addiction, find direction and start creating lives they actually want to live.In this conversation, Jan talks openly about what finally brought him to his knees, what changed once he stopped running, and the spiritual practices that have become an important part of his recovery. He also shares some of the ways he works with men in treatment and the lessons he has learned from watching people rebuild their lives from the ground up.Today's episode is brought to you by Sacred Journey Recovery in San Diego, CA. ⁠⁠Sacred Journey⁠⁠ is a mens only treatment center that blends modern clinical care with immersive outdoor therapy for men facing addiction.

Can I ask you something? Do you know what you want anymore? Not what your husband wants. Not what your kids need. Not what your boss expects. Not what everyone else thinks you should be doing. What do YOU want? Because somewhere along the way, a lot of women lose themselves. We become the mom. The wife. The caretaker. The responsible one. The employee. The business owner. The one everyone calls when they need something. And eventually, we look around and think: “Wait… where did I go?” And sometimes alcohol becomes one of the only things that feels like it's ours. The drink becomes our little escape. Our reward. Our time. Our way of feeling like ourselves again. But what if instead of trying to take that away, we started rebuilding the woman underneath it? I want you to start asking: What do I want? What do I enjoy? What have I stopped doing? Who am I becoming? This is bigger than drinking. And it's a big part of the work we'll be doing inside The Set Free Sisterhood Collective. https://setfreesisterhood.com/collective Because maybe the goal isn't just to stop drinking. Maybe the goal is to find yourself again.

What happens when a thought gets repeated so often that it stops feeling like a thought and starts feeling like a fact?In this Think Thursday episode, Molly explores the illusory truth effect, processing fluency, self-schemas, and self-verification to explain why familiar ideas can feel more believable simply because we've practiced thinking them over and over.In this episode:Why repetition can make information feel more trueThe difference between familiarity and evidenceHow self-schemas shape what we notice and rememberWhy we tend to collect evidence that supports existing beliefsHow repeated thoughts can quietly become identity statementsWhy changing your thinking isn't about forced positive affirmationsHow to question old beliefs with more accuracy and curiosityA question to take with you:Is this something I know, or is this something I've practiced thinking?Sometimes behavior change begins not with immediately creating a new belief, but with realizing that an old one may never have been a fact in the first place.Research MentionedHasher, Goldstein & Toppino — early research on the illusory truth effectDechêne et al. — meta-analysis on repetition and perceived truthLisa Fazio and colleagues — repetition and prior knowledgeHazel Markus — self-schema researchWilliam Swann — self-verification theory ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode of I Quit Wine, I'm talking about something I see so often in women who stop drinking: the “sugar monster.” You give up the wine, but suddenly you're reaching for chocolate, biscuits, bread or anything else that gives you that quick hit of comfort.And there's a reason this can happen.When alcohol has been your go-to way of changing how you feel, removing it can leave you looking for something else to fill that emotional gap. Sugar, processed foods, scrolling, Netflix, exercise — even constantly reaching for AI — can become new ways of distracting, soothing or stimulating ourselves.For me, this is where emotional sobriety comes in.And that takes more than information.I can give you all the information in the world about alcohol, sugar, dopamine, food and habits — but information alone doesn't create change. Implementation does.One of the biggest mistakes I see is trying to change everything at once.In the early days of sobriety, particularly those first 30 days, my priority is simple: don't drink.That's it.Eat properly. Get enough protein and healthy fats. Have nutritious snacks available. If fruit helps satisfy the sweet cravings, have the fruit.I don't believe you need to be perfect with your food while you're learning to live without alcohol.Then, once you've got some solid sober time behind you — around 90 days is a useful point to reassess — you can start looking at the other things that may be keeping you stuck, including sugar and highly processed foods.This is one of the questions I come back to again and again.Sometimes I think I'm hungry for food when what I'm actually hungry for is connection, purpose, rest, fun, reassurance or something meaningful to look forward to.That's where journaling can be incredibly useful.Instead of automatically reaching for food, pause and ask:What am I really hungry for right now?The answer can tell you a lot.Emotional sobriety isn't about making life complicated.Walking every day. Getting morning sunlight. Prioritising good sleep. Eating nourishing food. Creating connection. Paying attention to what you're feeling rather than immediately trying to escape it.These simple things can make a huge difference.And if you're struggling, please don't feel that you have to do this alone. Having support, accountability and someone to help you actually implement the changes can be transformational.There's a hard that comes with drinking — and, for me, that hard never gave anything back.Then there's the hard of becoming sober and learning to manage your emotions, your habits and your life differently.So if you've stopped drinking and now you're battling sugar cravings, weight gain or a whole new collection of compulsive habits, don't assume you've failed.You may simply have reached the next stage of the journey.And that's where the real work — and the real freedom — can begin.If you're a woman in your 40s, 50s or 60s who knows you're drinking more than you want to but doesn't necessarily identify as “dependent,” I'd love to help.You can get in touch with me at iqwsarah@gmail.com or book a complimentary call here:https://tidycal.com/sarahleather/iqwconnectIn this episode, I talk about:Why sugar cravings can increase after giving up alcoholThe idea of transferring addictive or compulsive behavioursWhy weight loss isn't necessarily automatic after sobrietyHow ADHD and perimenopause/menopause can add another layerWhat I mean by emotional sobrietyWhy the first 30 days should be about not drinkingWhen and how to start looking at sugar and processed foodsEmotional eating and asking what you're really hungry forJournaling and identifying unmet emotional needsThe importance of sleep, movement and morning sunlightWhy information isn't enough — implementation is keyWhy support can make such a differenceAnd why sometimes you simply have to choose your hardSo what's actually going on?

In this episode of the Soberfall Podcast, Veronica Valli delves into the intricate relationship between thoughts, emotions, and drinking behaviors. She emphasizes that many individuals mistakenly focus on willpower to combat their drinking problems, neglecting the underlying thoughts and feelings that trigger their desire to drink. Valli explains the concept of activating events and how our perceptions of these events, influenced by past beliefs, shape our emotional responses and subsequent actions. She advocates for developing emotional sobriety skills to better navigate life's challenges and make healthier choices instead of resorting to alcohol as a coping mechanism.   To learn more, visit the show notes.

What if the reason you keep returning to alcohol isn't because you lack discipline - but because you haven't yet built a new way of living that lasts? In this episode, James Swanwick explains the difference between simply stopping drinking and truly changing your relationship with alcohol. You'll learn why white-knuckling and willpower often keep alcohol psychologically powerful, how a sustained alcohol-free period helps you challenge old beliefs and associations, and why every dinner, vacation, stressful day, celebration and social event becomes evidence that you can live—and enjoy life—without alcohol. James also explores how 90 days can rebuild self-trust, strengthen relationships, improve energy and clarity, and begin shifting your identity from "someone trying not to drink" to someone who simply no longer needs alcohol. The goal isn't deprivation. It's freedom. If you're ready to explore what 90 days could change for you, text INTERESTED to Kai on James's team at +1 361 321 7764.

So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

If you've ever felt like you can't think straight, can't stop second-guessing yourself, or can't figure out why you keep making decisions you regret, this episode is for you. One of the most damaging and least talked about effects of divorce is what anxiety does to your decision making. Fear takes over, your nervous system goes into overdrive, and suddenly you're not making choices from a clear, grounded place, you're reacting. Most people don't even realize it's happening until the damage is done, and for many, anxiety and alcohol end up feeding each other during this exact chapter of life. Karen sits down with Colleen Freeland Kachmann, a mindful drinking coach, host of the globally top ranked It's Not About the Alcohol podcast, and founder of the Accelerated Recovery Process, to talk about what anxiety is actually doing to your brain during divorce, why so many people reach for alcohol to cope with that anxiety without realizing that's what's happening, and how to get clear, get grounded, and start making decisions you can trust, with or without a drink in hand. They dig into why anxiety and fear take over during divorce and what's actually happening in your nervous system when they do, how anxious drinking during divorce becomes a coping mechanism for dysregulation rather than an actual solution, how to recognize when anxiety is making your decisions for you even when it doesn't feel like anxiety, and what it feels like to make a decision from a calm, grounded place instead of a fearful or alcohol-numbed one. They also talk about the role of emotional sobriety, a concept that applies whether or not alcohol is part of your story, in rebuilding self-trust during and after divorce, and what Colleen's work helping women change their relationship with alcohol taught her about fear, the nervous system, and self-trust that applies directly to divorce recovery. Colleen Freeland Kachmann is a mindful drinking coach and host of the globally top ranked It's Not About the Alcohol podcast. She helps high-achieving professional women reduce their alcohol consumption using holistic, evidence-based strategies in neurophysiology, nervous system regulation, and growth mindset, without willpower or an all-or-nothing approach to alcohol. Colleen is an addiction and recovery-certified master life coach with an MSc in health coaching, a BS in biology and chemistry, and certification as a women's functional and integrative professional. She founded Recover with Colleen, an intensive group coaching program built around her Accelerated Recovery Process.

Description KEEP GOING: Jake Arends on Loss, Sobriety, Fatherhood, and Finding Purpose After Suicide In this raw and deeply personal episode of Domestic Dad: Cleaning Up The Mess, host Nick Barnett sits down with Jake Arends to honor the life of Jake's older brother, Jared, and talk honestly about grief, suicide loss, alcohol, sobriety, faith, fatherhood, and the decision to keep moving forward when life feels impossible. Jake remembers a storybook childhood in Waterloo, Iowa—wrestling, Iowa State football games, summers at Clear Lake, and a tight-knit family built on love, humor, and loyalty. Jared was Jake's protector, his tormentor in the way only an older brother can be, and a bright, charismatic presence who made people feel seen. But beneath that light, alcohol slowly took hold. Jake describes the progression from social drinking to dependence, isolation, lost opportunities, and the heartbreaking helplessness of watching someone you love become trapped by addiction. When Jared died by suicide, Jake was left carrying grief, anger, guilt, and the endless questions that so often follow this kind of loss. Jake also speaks candidly about his own response. He used alcohol to numb the pain and became emotionally absent from his wife and children. Eventually, he recognized that grief and drinking were stealing moments his family deserved to have with him. He chose sobriety—and has now been alcohol-free for two years. Nick and Jake discuss what it means to lead by example, why children repeat what they see, how a spouse can become a lifeline, and why quitting alcohol does not require waiting for a dramatic rock-bottom moment. They also explore Jake's growing faith, the assurance that nothing can separate us from the love of God, and the responsibility to turn pain into purpose by helping someone else. This conversation is not only about what Jake lost. It is about what he chose to build afterward: a healthier marriage, a more present relationship with his children, a deeper faith, and a legacy his family can be proud of. If you are grieving, questioning your relationship with alcohol, or struggling to see a path forward, Jake's message is simple: Take it one day at a time. Ask for help. Remember who needs you. Keep going. Content note: This episode includes honest discussion of suicide, grief, depression, and alcohol addiction. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger or experiencing a suicidal crisis in the United States, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.   Table of Contents / YouTube Chapters 00:00 – Welcome to Domestic Dad Nick welcomes Jake and explains why sharing Jared's story matters. 01:18 – A Storybook Childhood Jake remembers growing up in Waterloo, wrestling, family, Clear Lake, and Iowa State football. 03:42 – Jared the Protector Stories about the older brother who picked on Jake but never let anyone else touch him. 05:00 – A Loving, Close-Knit Family Jake describes his parents, the love in their home, and Jared's willingness to tell people he loved them. 07:06 – Jared's Charisma and Big Personality Why people were drawn to Jared, his smile, his stories, and the light he brought into a room. 10:33 – When Drinking Became Part of the Story Jake and Nick discuss how normal social drinking can gradually become something more dangerous. 13:57 – Recognizing Jared's Alcohol Problem Jake begins noticing that Jared is drinking more than everyone around him. 17:42 – Trying to Reach Someone You Love The difficult conversations, letters, and attempts to help without losing sight of the person underneath the addiction. 21:46 – Loss, Numbness, and Escalation How grief and mental health struggles can deepen alcohol dependence. 27:03 – From Wanting a Drink to Needing One Nick explains the physical and emotional cycle of alcohol dependence and the shame it creates. 31:04 – Denial, Stubbornness, and Helplessness What it feels like when everyone sees the problem except the person trapped inside it. 39:49 – “If You Have to Ask…” A direct conversation about recognizing when alcohol has become a real problem. 40:51 – Be Alert and Sober-Minded Faith, spiritual vulnerability, and the ways addiction attacks identity and relationships. 49:17 – The Call That Changed Everything Jake recounts being asked to check on Jared and the devastating moment that followed. 52:37 – The Unique Weight of Suicide Loss Guilt, anger, unanswered questions, and why suicide grief feels different. 55:53 – Jared's Funeral and the Love Around Him Jake reflects on the support surrounding the family and the painful contrast between Jared's impact and what he could no longer see. 01:01:27 – Living With Grief How grief changes day to day and continues showing up in unexpected ways. 01:02:22 – Drinking to Cope Jake explains how alcohol became a nightly escape and made him less present with his wife and children. 01:04:22 – Two Years Without Alcohol Jake shares how sobriety gave him back the moments alcohol was stealing. 01:06:28 – The Switch That Changed His Life Choosing to stop drinking, accepting support, and becoming accountable to the people he loves. 01:09:09 – What Your Children See Nick and Jake discuss fatherhood, modeling behavior, and why example matters more than lectures. 01:13:05 – Faith After Loss Jake describes how death, sobriety, prayer, and church drew him closer to God. 01:13:52 – Keep Going The central message of the episode: pain is real, but stopping is not the answer. 01:15:21 – Remember Who You Are A call to remember who you are for your spouse, your children, and the people who depend on you. 01:19:39 – Can Suicide Separate Someone From God?

Alcohol Steals Presence: It takes time, clarity, connection, and moments your spouse and children deserve. You Don't Need a Dramatic Rock Bottom: If alcohol is hurting your life, that is enough reason to stop. Children Follow Examples: Fatherhood is shaped more by what children observe than by what they are told. Support Changes Outcomes: A spouse, counselor, recovery group, church, or trusted friend can become a lifeline. Faith Can Hold the Questions: Grief and doubt do not separate anyone from the love of God. Pain Can Become Purpose: Telling the truth about Jared's story may help another family choose a different ending. Legacy Is Built Today: The choices made now become the example passed to the next generation.   Why This Episode Matters Jake's story captures the heart of Domestic Dad: Cleaning Up The Mess: honest men talking about the pain they usually hide, taking responsibility for the choices they can change, and becoming more present husbands and fathers. This episode honors Jared without reducing him to the way he died. It remembers the brother, husband, friend, storyteller, protector, and bright light people loved. At the same time, it refuses to soften the damage caused by alcohol, isolation, and untreated pain. Most importantly, the conversation gives listeners a next step. Ask for help. Talk to someone. Stop trying to carry everything alone. Make the decision that protects your life and your family today. Your pain can become purpose. Your story is not over. Keep going.   Website: www.domesticdadproject.com Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/domestic-dad-cleaning-up-the-mess-sobriety-parenting/id1732379029 Spotify podcasts: https://open.spotify.com/show/12eQNKuS1adoNiclmfn3wS Facebook: facebook.com/DOMESTICDADPROJECT Instagram: instagram.com/the_domestic_dad_project

Twenty-four hours of food poisoning on an all-inclusive holiday, and Helen's body made a decision before her mind caught up. She'd been drinking that week too, the way she always did with her sister, and somewhere in the middle of being violently sick she found herself pleading with her own stomach: no more, nothing else toxic, please. She got home and never drank again. You don't need an excuse not to drink once your body has already made the case for you, and two years later, she still describes the moment as a decision made in an instant. Helen and Coach Cole discuss: ●       Sneaking sips of wine and gin as a kid, and how alcohol felt like the ultimate grown-up, exciting thing ●       Getting so drunk on her 18th birthday that her parents thought she'd been spiked with something worse than alcohol ●       Needing “a valid reason” not to drink once her kids weren't little anymore, and how strange that felt to admit out loud ●       The bout of food poisoning on holiday with her sister that made the decision for her, in an instant ●       Why reading This Naked Mind felt like confirmation instead of a wake-up call ●       And more on finding an alcohol-free music festival and what she'd tell her teenage self about dancing… Ready to take the next step?

You are taking the supplements. Drinking the water. Maybe you are even on HRT. And yet you still feel tired, puffy, anxious, inflamed, constipated, foggy, wired at night, and completely drained during the day. What if one of the missing pieces is far more basic than another hormone, peptide, or supplement? In this episode, I sit down with Caroline Allen, The Mineral Geek and co-founder of BEAM Minerals, to talk about the role minerals play at the cellular level. We get into mitochondria, energy production, hydration, nervous system regulation, detoxification, adrenal and thyroid function, and why Caroline believes we need to stop looking at the body as a collection of broken parts and start looking at it as an ecosystem. We also unpack humic and fulvic minerals, why taking isolated minerals may not always be the same as replenishing a full spectrum of minerals, how environmental toxins and heavy metals can interfere with mineral balance, and why mineral needs may become even more important during pregnancy, perimenopause, menopause, chronic stress, and GLP-1 use. This conversation may change the way you think about supplements entirely. In this episode, we cover: Why mineral depletion may contribute to multiple seemingly unrelated symptoms Caroline's personal recovery from fatigue, insomnia, brain fog, gut inflammation, and burnout The connection between minerals, mitochondria, and cellular energy Why adrenal, thyroid, and reproductive hormones are so interconnected How chronic stress may increase mineral demands Why isolated magnesium, calcium, and other minerals may not tell the whole story What humic and fulvic minerals are How humic and fulvic substances may support mineral delivery and detoxification The relationship between mineral balance, nervous system regulation, and sleep Why heavy metals can interfere with mineral receptor sites Minerals during pregnancy, perimenopause, menopause, and GLP-1 use Why supporting the whole cellular ecosystem may help other therapies work better Who This Episode Is For This episode is for women who feel like they are doing everything right but still do not feel well. If you are struggling with fatigue, poor sleep, brain fog, constipation, muscle cramps, anxiety, hormone symptoms, stress intolerance, or feeling like your body simply does not have enough energy to keep up anymore, this conversation will give you a completely different way to think about what may be missing. It is also especially relevant for women using HRT or GLP-1 medications who want to make sure they are supporting their body nutritionally at the same time.     Sponsors Timeline is offering up to 39% off your first order of Mitopure.

A Midwest childhood of open windows, no cellphones, and drinking from every water hose was the way I grew up. Then on a Tuesday twenty-five years ago the world changed. We lost an innocence and we suddenly needed a security we had never felt the need for before. In this episode, Bill Vanderbush names what is so hard to recover once it is lost, and draws the deeper parallel. Theosis was the early church's ordinary way of life in union with Christ, slowly replaced by distance and separation until the power of the cross has been universally diminished in sermons today. This is a call to recover what was stolen, not by rebuilding an innocence we cannot get back, but by drinking again from the new covenant life God has never stopped offering.

Send us Fan MailFor 249 episodes we drank beer, so naturally we decided to celebrate number 250 with whiskey—at almost the exact moment the whiskey business started wondering where everybody went. In this milestone episode of Business, Beer & BS, we're figuring out whether people are actually drinking less, drinking differently, or just paying $14 to have someone leave the alcohol out of their cocktail. We get into sober raves, canned cocktails (RTDs), GLP-1 weight loss medications, the supposedly sober Gen Z suddenly drinking more, and whether bourbon collecting is really just Pokémon for middle-aged men. Somewhere between the first pour and whatever seemed like a good idea by the third, we discover that drinking isn't disappearing nearly as fast as the traditional rules around it are.From a business strategy and market execution standpoint, these changing consumer habits represent a structural shift in customer acquisition, menu margin engineering, and product portfolio management. As non-alcoholic options, functional beverages, and zero-proof spirits outpace legacy alcohol growth, smart business owners, hospitality operators, and beverage distributors must adapt their cash flow tactics and inventory strategy. Whether you are retooling your offerings to capture health-conscious consumers, leveraging premiumization, or navigating GLP-1 market disruption, staying agile is essential to protecting your bottom line.If you enjoyed this episode, head over to mikeandblaine.com to buy us a beer and keep the conversation going!We want to hear from you! beer@mikeandblaine.comThanks to our Beer Sponsors:Karen Hairston from 3S Smart ConsultingCPA Larry Weinstein, the Cash Flow Cowboy from Houston TexasNeighbor PatTrey MiltonListen to all our episodes at mikeandblaine.comLearn about:Cash Flow Mike who trains CPAs to provide effective advisory to their clients at cashflowmike.comWatch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/n3bpldzgzBgDryrun Cash Flow Forecasting for the office of the CFO where they get finance teams out of spreadsheets at dryrun.com#Whiskey #WhiskeyTok #SoberCurious #MindfulDrinking #Mocktails #NonAlcoholic #ReadyToDrink #RTD #GenZ #DrinkingTrends #BusinessStrategy #BeverageIndustry #Entrepreneurship #CashFlow #SmallBusinessTactics #AthleticBrewing #LiquidDeath #Heineken #MolsonCoors #Diageo #BuffaloTrace #Poppi #Ozempic #BusinessPodcast #MikeAndBlaineSupport the showCatch more episodes, see our sponsors and get in touch at https://mikeandblaine.com/

Your children don't only learn from what you tell them. They learn from what they watch you do. In this episode, James Swanwick explores the connection between alcohol, family, trust and legacy. What are your children learning when they see alcohol paired with stress, celebration, vacations or difficult emotions? And what could they learn instead if they watched you handle those moments differently? James discusses how alcohol-related habits become learned associations, how trust in a marriage can quietly erode through broken promises, and why consistent behavior matters more than another promise to "cut back." This episode is not about guilt. It's about becoming conscious of the example you're setting - and deciding what kind of legacy you want to create.

Come enjoy some sisterhood time! Free Zoom meet up on September 15th at 6 pm EST. We will discuss the 5 Hidden Reasons you drink even when you dont want to. Register here: https://setfreesisterhood.myflodesk.com/freezoomsisterhood   What if the drink isn't the thing you want? What if you want to NOT FEEL? Maybe you're angry. Lonely. Anxious. Disappointed. Overwhelmed. Resentful. And instead of feeling it… you pour a drink. Because for a little while, you don't have to deal with it. But here's the catch: The feeling doesn't actually go away. You just temporarily disconnect from it. And every time you do that, your brain gets another lesson: Feeling bad → Drink → Feel better What if you could learn something new? Feeling bad → Feel it → Process it → Move through it That's the work. This week's podcast: You're Not Drinking Because You Love Alcohol—You're Avoiding a Feeling And if you're ready to learn how to stop running from yourself, The Set Free Sisterhood Collective starts September 30th. Join now: https://setfreesisterhood.com/collective You don't have to numb your way through hard things.

It's to understand the brain you have and build strategies that work with it.Choose peace. ★ Support this podcast ★

That mid-afternoon or end-of-day craving for a drink can feel incredibly predictable. Maybe you assume your brain has simply learned that this is when you drink, but what if there's something else turning up the volume on your desire for alcohol?   This week, we're exploring the connection between under-fueling and drinking more. What if some of the signals you interpret as wanting a drink are tangled up with something happening in your body? And what if years of rules about when, what, and how much you should eat have made that connection harder to recognize?   Find a personalized approach that helps you change your habit in my new book, The Ultimate Guide to Drinking Less, here: https://rachelhart.com/guide/   Discover alternative approaches to drinking less inside our membership program, Take a Break: https://rachelhart.com/tab/   Get the full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://rachelhart.com/485

Tommie Runz is a runner, sobriety advocate, and co-host of the PR Project. This conversation explores addiction and redemption through Tommie's insistence that sobriety comes first and everything else is downstream. We discuss his backstory, the denial and the delusion of functional drinking, the moment he told the truth, nine years sober, ultrarunning as a spiritual practice, who belongs on the trail, and more. Tommie is a beautiful representation of a real runner. Enjoy! Show notes + MORE Watch on YouTube Newsletter Sign-Up Today's Sponsors: WHOOP: Join now and get one month free
