Send us a textThe Minnesota Twins sweep the Baltimore Orioles in a three-game set at Camden Yards. The Twins extend their winning streak to 11-straight games, the most done so far in the MLB this year. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for Dan Thompson, and the boys are giddy due to the Twins current streak. The guys discuss the unbelievable wins the Twins pulled out against all odds with several guys struggling with injuries and a overly-taxed bullpen. Hoges offers high praise for Rocco for managing to win these games, and David wants to see the Twins recall Randy Dobnak to fill in as a long reliever. David once again romanticizes a Kody Clemens homerun, while Hoges can't stop talking about Willi Castro's great catch in left. David is curious if this is what we can expect out of Chris Paddack moving forward, while Hoges wants to know how many AL Central teams will make the postseason. The guys discuss the recent Hall of Fame voting rules changes, and make their picks for the upcoming Brewers series.

Returning to The Jewish Drinking Show, Epstein is now an ordained rabbi and lays out his plans for the next stage of the company.Brief Biography of GuestThe owner of Shmaltz Brewing, Rabbi Jesse Epstein is a beer-brewing, text-loving, risk-taking Jewish innovator. With support from fellowships like the URJ's Community Cultivators Cohort (in partnership with Beloved) and Atra: The Center for Rabbinic Innovation, he's turned pints into platforms for everything from Torah study to social justice pop-ups. This summer, he's headed to Seattle to begin his new role as the Assistant Rabbi at Temple Beth Am. Whether he's leading a Havdalah at the local bar or spending time dreaming up a different beer for each Torah portion, Jesse is all about making Judaism accessible, meaningful, and just a little bit hoppy. Support the showThank you for listening!If you have any questions, suggestions, or more, feel free to reach out at Drew@JewishDrinking.coml'chaim!

Today we have Ben. He is 45 years old from Liverpool, UK and had his last drink on September 26th, 2021.   Sponsors for this episode include: Better Help – 10% off of your first month Sober Link - $50 off of device using this link   [02:01] Thoughts from Paul:   According to Stanford neuroscientist Andrew Huberman, all health, longevity, and your daily moods, along with your overall state of being, is tied to the quality of your sleep. When you drink alcohol, the quality of your sleep drastically diminishes, leaving you in a state of disrepair the following day.   Paul shares many examples of how poor sleep affects our bodily functions and how drinking even small amounts of alcohol adds fuel to that fire.   When we remove alcohol and we begin entering deep sleep cycles again, all of these negative consequences of poor sleep start to disappear. It may not happen in one night but within time, trust the body and this function will return to normal.   [09:22] Paul introduces Ben:   Ben was a previous guest on Episode 364.   Ben started drinking when he was 14. It was tied into music and his social life. Alcohol and music helped him to escape the strife that he was having at school with bullies and being different than everyone else.   Drinking was a huge part of his rock and roll lifestyle. Drinking with bandmates while writing music, going out after practice and drinking after performances were all part of the landscape for Ben in his early 20s. This continued and progressed over the next decade.   Towards the end of his 30s, Ben says things started to get really dark for him. He found himself just wanting to drink on the tour bus and be left alone. The days of wanting to drink to socialize and be connected were gone for him.   When he realized his drinking was becoming an issue, Ben tried to stop for periods of time. Later on, to create accountability Ben would make pacts with his brother where if he drank on one of his 30-day breaks, his brother could sell Ben's guitar. The idea of stopping completely was unthinkable to Ben at the time.   After a situation where Ben almost lost all of his musical equipment at the end of a tour, he started to look into AA. It was recommended to him by someone he knew who had gotten sober. He was a bit dubious of it because he thought AA was only for people that had a problem. When Ben first spoke at the meeting he thought he might end up making light of his story but found himself crying instead and made the statement that he was scared that if he never drank again, that there would be nothing for him to look forward to for the rest of his life.   Throughout 2020 and 2021, Ben would find himself having two day drinking binges nearly every week. He had just gotten an apartment without housemates or family for the first time and had no one he had to be accountable to. The fact that his job wasn't 9-5 gave him a lot of free time. The moderation techniques began again because he wasn't ready to believe he had to quit entirely.   After a few rock bottom incidents, Ben finally made the decision to stop. In the first few months he used a variety of tools including harm reduction. He allowed himself to play video games again and eat food that he had always denied himself while drinking. When he reached out to be on the podcast the first time, he utilized that as motivation to stay sober at least until the interview a few months later.   Year one of sobriety found Ben still having cravings and just getting used to life being sober but says years two and three found him celebrating personal and professional successes. He says life can still be complicated at times but has learned to use obstacles as opportunities. Meditation has been a powerful tool for Ben in his recovery in addition to journalling, limiting his phone usage, reading and exercise.   Recovery Elevator You took the elevator down, you gotta take the stairs back up.

Episode 2976: Adda Bjarnadottir examines the popular belief that drinking more water leads to weight loss, revealing that while water can aid metabolism, reduce appetite, and replace high-calorie beverages, the evidence for water alone causing weight loss is weak. Still, staying hydrated can support healthier habits and contribute to long-term weight management when paired with other lifestyle changes. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/drinking-water-helps-with-weight-loss Quotes to ponder: "Drinking water can help burn calories and reduce hunger cravings." "Drinking water may help increase your metabolic rate and how much energy (or calories) you burn." "The benefits are even greater when you replace sugary beverages with water."

What if the glass of wine you reach for every evening is actually treating something deeper than just stress? Amy takes us through her journey from teenage experimentation to mommy wine culture, revealing how alcohol became her trusted companion through life's challenges. As a high-functioning professional juggling parenting, caregiving responsibilities, and undiagnosed issues, she found herself using alcohol to treat adult ADHD without even realizing it. It wasn't until her son developed addiction issues that Amy began questioning her own relationship with alcohol. Through family therapy, reading This Naked Mind, and completing The Alcohol Experiment, Amy discovered how alcohol was masking her authentic needs while creating more anxiety and depression. Now alcohol-free for four years, she shares how breaking this cycle led to profound personal growth and genuine joy. In this episode, Annie and Amy discuss: Growing up in a conservative "Leave It to Beaver" household Teenage experimentation with alcohol as rebellion Transitioning from weekend binge drinking to daily wine culture How mommy wine culture normalized problematic drinking Using alcohol to treat adult ADHD without realizing it The connection between disordered eating and alcohol consumption Parenting adopted children with unique challenges How family therapy led to self-discovery Breaking free from alcohol at age 51 Finding authentic joy and peace in midlife And other topics… Episode links: Start reading This Naked Mind - https://thisnakedmind.com/book Join The Alcohol Experiment - www.alcoholexperiment.com Related Episodes: EP 719: Naked Life Story – Katie W. - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-719-naked-life-story-katie-w/ EP 110: Reader Question – I stopped drinking alcohol but now I binge on Netflix and ice cream.

In this week's episode of Drinking from the Garden Hose, Ed and OB took a deep dive into the wild world of parenting—because if there's anything better than raising kids, it's talking about it with a beer in hand. They covered the classics: setting rules, disciplining your little angels (or miniature anarchists, depending on the day), and swapping stories that made it clear neither of them is getting nominated for Parent of the Year anytime soon. The conversation meandered—like a loose garden hose on full blast—into current events, including the surprising revelation that Bill Belichick's personal life is somehow newsworthy. That's right, the hoodie-wearing mastermind of football apparently has a dating life, and Ed and OB handled this breaking news with the grace and subtlety of a toddler with a drum set. "Drinking from the Garden Hose: where parenting advice is unfiltered, unqualified, and probably needs a disclaimer."

If you've ever wondered what happens to your friendships when you stop drinking, you are so not alone. Because when alcohol has been the glue holding your social life together, stepping away from it can feel like pulling a thread that unravels everything. In this episode of The Hello Someday Podcast, I sat down with Dr. Kimberly Horn, research psychologist and author of Friends Matter, For Life, to talk all about how to build and nurture friendships that actually support your alcohol-free life — and why connection is crucial for your emotional health and sobriety journey. I asked Dr. Horn to share practical, research-backed tools you can use to create meaningful connections and friendships in sobriety — even if you're feeling lonely, awkward, or like you're starting over socially. (And yes, there are actionable steps you can take today!)

In this episode of Think Thursday from the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, host Molly Watts explores the transformative mental health benefits of self-transcendence.After recently visiting the South Rim of the Grand Canyon for the first time, Molly shares her personal experience of awe and expansion, describing how moments of transcendence can shift perspective, lighten emotional burdens, and promote mental well-being.Drawing from Abraham Maslow's later work on human needs, Molly explains why self-transcendence sits above self-actualization as the highest human goal. She discusses how practices that cultivate transcendence — like connecting with nature, practicing gratitude, serving others, experiencing awe, and mindful meditation — can help individuals move beyond rumination, stress, and loneliness.Listeners will come away with practical strategies for creating small moments of transcendence in everyday life, even without traveling to iconic locations like the Grand Canyon. Molly issues a weekly challenge to encourage listeners to experience the power of stepping outside of themselves and into a deeper connection with the world around them.This episode is part of a special Mental Health Awareness Month series and continues the Alcohol Minimalist commitment to science-based strategies for building a more peaceful, mindful life.Topics Covered:Defining self-transcendence and why it matters for mental healthMolly's Grand Canyon experience as a personal example of peak experienceHow Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs evolved to include self-transcendenceThe role of transcendence in countering anxiety, depression, and ruminationFive daily practices for cultivating transcendenceResources and Links:Join the Alcohol Minimalists Facebook GroupWork with MollyRelated Episodes:The Science of AweIf you enjoy the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, please share the show with a friend, leave a review on your favorite podcast platform, and connect with Molly Watts on Instagram and Facebook. ★ Support this podcast ★

Sam and Sara Kazmer brought great craft beer to a market they felt was underserved - Atlanta, Georgia when they flipped on the lights at Elsewhere Brewing in 2020. They wanted to produce award-winning beer in a unique, community-event driven taproom. They wanted to create space, community and memories for themselves and every customer that shared in their dream. And, as we'll hear in the 4th segment, they were successful. The whole project was an amalgamation of the experiences they had researching craft beer while traveling the world. Drinking, tasting, connecting and experiencing beer when it's more than beer in other countries and continents. In the 3rd segment we're joined by 6 month-old Sofie as she woke up from her nap. And that's about the time we really get into the struggles they faced at elsewhere Brewing. As their fan starts to really fill up with shit, Sam and Sara knew that they needed to throw a Hail Mary pass quickly. So in the Spring of 2024 they hired a new ops manager, built a team and a strategy around her and did everything they could to rally the ATL community around the beer and the vision of Elsewhere Brewing. They set a July deadline for profitability and as you may have guessed, they are a guest on this podcast because it didn't work. We learn a couple of handfuls of lessons in this episode, including whether you can change the culture of your community/city/region around how, why and how often they enjoy craft beer as part of a healthy lifestyle. To do or do not to do in regards to having a restaurant in your brewery. The management of multiple tasting rooms. And why you can't find someone to do the owner's job for 20K/year. This was a moving episode and a special one for me. So open up your hearts and ears and maybe you'll learn something about How NOT To Start A Damn Brewery. You can reach the Kazmers at Sarakazmer26@gmail.com Samkazmer@gmail.com

Even without a drink in hand, it drains focus, fuels anxiety, and consumes your mental bandwidth. You don't have to think about drinking forever.

Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world, with an average of 98 million cups consumed in the UK every day, according to the British Coffee Association. In moderation, there are plenty of benefits to be gained from drinking coffee, but there can also be some negative side effects, in particular due to its caffeine content. Decaf is an alternative, but is it really healthier? Our bodies don't all process caffeine in the same way. It also depends on our sleep quality and the dose of caffeine.

The social aspect of cutting back or eliminating alcohol can be really stressful and I've been there too… The inevitable questions you might face if you don't order alcohol in a friend group or turn down a drink your friend really wants you to try… we've been there. In today's episode, we're going to share 6 strategies that we actually got from Julie Helms, a communication and skills expert. These are awesome strategies for someone like me, an enneagram 9, who doesn't like to be direct and confrontational if I don't have to be. Your choices are your own, and you don't owe anyone an explanation.  And while setting strong verbal boundaries (like “I'm not drinking tonight”) *IS* an option, these non verbal strategies might help you navigate situations with more comfort and grace, while inviting less follow-up questions. From ordering a mocktail with confidence to "I'll start with water, thank you" and never ordering a drink to a drink getting mysteriously "lost", these ways have saved us in those times we were cutting back but didn't want to explain ourselves. Time Stamps: (1:32) Our Incredible Team (3:09) Your Relationship With Alcohol (4:51) Alcohol Can Be Adding Fuel To The Fire (11:22) Drinking in Social Settings (12:42) #1: Order A Mocktail With Confidence (15:45) #2: You Can Have The Drink Poured But Not Drink It (17:20) #3: I'll Start With Water Thanks (19:07) #4: Keep It Simple and Say No Thanks (20:15) #5: The Toasting Trick (22:57) #6: Drink Gets Lost Throughout The Night---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

In this episode, Molly revisits a listener favorite: Undoing the Urge to Overdrink — a heartfelt and informative conversation first shared just before Thanksgiving 2023. Molly reflects on how emotional triggers, life events, and deeply rooted habits shape our relationship with alcohol — and how we can interrupt the cycle to create lasting change.Molly also shares a poignant personal moment, connecting the episode's theme with the anniversary of her father's passing on Thanksgiving night in 2022, making this revisited conversation especially meaningful.This episode coincides with the launch of Just One More, Molly's new two-week mini-course aimed at helping binge drinkers take the first powerful step toward a peaceful relationship with alcohol. (Sign-ups are open now! Check the link in the show notes.)Key Topics Covered:Defining Overdrinking and Binge Drinking: Molly clarifies what constitutes a binge for women (4+ standard drinks) and men (5+ standard drinks) — emphasizing why even gradual consumption across a day still counts as overdrinking.Impact of Overdrinking Beyond Intoxication: How even without reaching a "drunk" state, overdrinking disrupts sleep, elevates anxiety, taxes the liver, and triggers inflammatory responses.Holiday Drinking Traps: Common ways Thanksgiving and other holidays can lull us into overdrinking patterns — and why "spreading it out" doesn't negate its negative effects.Personal Reflections on Thanksgiving: Molly shares her experience navigating family-induced stress (especially dealing with her mother-in-law's anxiety) without turning to alcohol, highlighting the importance of mind management.The Cycle of Overdrinking: Breaking down the behavioral patterns and emotional triggers that drive overdrinking — and how building awareness interrupts the urge before it turns into action.Tools for Undoing the Urge: Molly emphasizes key strategies:Practicing mindfulness during urgesChoosing empathy over resentment in stressful family situationsReframing thoughts to shift emotional responsesFocusing on gratitude and emotional resilienceImportant Reminder: Changing your drinking habits isn't just about counting days — it's about understanding your brain, managing your mind, and creating a lifestyle of peace and intentionality.Featured Resource: Just One More A two-week mini-program designed to help binge drinkers interrupt old patterns and create a sustainable path toward mindful drinking.  Sign up here (link in the show notes)Connect with Molly:Website: www.mollywatts.comFacebook Group: Alcohol Minimalists: Change Your Alcohol HabitsLow 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 ★

This week on Kliq This, Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver find themselves smack dab in the middle of wrestling's most chaotic season — post-Mania fallout, power shifts, prime bottle proposals, and maybe even a babyface extinction event. With The Rock's latest public comments stirring speculation, Cena's heel turn drawing comparisons to the nWo era, and a few too many people tanning like it's a contact sport, Kev weighs in with zero filter and even less patience. Beyond the squared circle, the guys get real about the grind of convention weekends, the economics of fandom, and the emotional cost of being the face of a company — especially when Make-A-Wish moments collide with production schedules. Also, don't miss Nash's thoughts on the “WrestleMania Roast” transcript leak, Logan Paul's million-dollar pitch to Austin, and the dangers of letting a Gucci beanie become your entire personality. With stories from the road, jabs at posers, and reflections on legacy, this episode isn't just wrestling commentary — it's part therapy session, part roast, part wrestling gospel. And yeah… if you ever wondered what it would cost to get Kevin Nash inside a Prime bottle, you're about to find out. 00:00 KliqThisTV.com Visit www.KliqThisTV.com for bonus content, vault episodes, and more. 18:31 CarGurus ‣ #1 most visited car shopping site.

He broke down why it sucks and Andy has never been happier. Max and Kärel planned for the HUA True Crime collab. Finally, Kärel tried to spell a word, but he should have done some reconnaissance before facing off against The Dictionary. Laughs, beers, burps, swearing and so much more!

In this powerful episode, Dr. Kelly Casperson sits down with James Swanwick, alcohol-free advocate and entrepreneur, to unravel the truth about alcohol's impact on our health, relationships, and society. With 15 years of alcohol-free living under his belt, James shares how choosing not to drink isn't about loss—it's about liberation. Together, they explore the deeply ingrained cultural narratives that glamorize alcohol and the neuroscience behind why our brains keep reaching for that next drink. From celebrity endorsements to outdated health myths, James and Kelly challenge the illusion that alcohol equals a good life. This conversation is packed with truth bombs, science, and personal insight into why being alcohol-free can unlock clarity, presence, and purpose—especially for high achievers and anyone craving a more fulfilling life. What You'll Learn: Why “alcohol-free” is a powerful choice—not a limitation How cultural conditioning has normalized drinking from a young age The truth about alcohol and brain degeneration The real story behind alcohol and heart health myths How dopamine drives alcohol cravings The link between alcohol and dementia, anxiety, and relational breakdowns Why more high performers are choosing sobriety for clarity and focus How to confidently navigate social events without alcohol The role of community in embracing a sober-curious or alcohol-free lifestyle Why societal change around alcohol is already happening Key Takeaways: Alcohol-free is a choice, not a lamentation. No amount of alcohol is beneficial for your health. Drinking can disrupt relationships, performance, and mental clarity. Alcohol is a drug—marketed as a reward but loaded with consequences. Society is slowly waking up to the truth: we don't need alcohol to celebrate, connect, or succeed.

What if the anxiety you've lived with for years could disappear by changing just one habit? Lauren never questioned the drinking culture she grew up with in the UK, where pubs were central to every social occasion. When the pandemic hit shortly after her move to Canada, she began noticing how alcohol had shifted from enjoyment to an unsatisfying habit. Through research and repeatedly listening to This Naked Mind, Lauren began building an alcohol-free lifestyle that lasts, taking extended breaks from drinking that revealed surprising benefits—including the complete disappearance of her anxiety. In this episode, she shares her journey of ups and downs, the importance of self-compassion after slip-ups, and how she's found more genuine joy and connection without alcohol at the center of her life.
