In the UK, 82% of adults drink alcohol, 48% of adults drink once per week, yet it is widely known as a toxin to the body on many levels, and it's primary action is a depressant. 5% of all deaths worldwide are linked to alcohol, with alcohol related issues rising significantly since the pandemic.  But, alcohol is a cultural and societal norm, it's everywhere and it's totally normal to drink it, more normal than any other drug in circulation. It's used to enjoy yourself, unwind, relieve stress, and escape your problems.  So the question is, how much is too much, is one drink ok, or are we missing its true effects not just on our physical health, but on our mental health. And if you exercise and drink, is it ok, or holding you back?  I've been particularly interested in this since going alcohol free. It's been 6 months now, and in this podcast I'll share my experience, some physiological statistics around alcohol use, how I accidently started this experiment, and my argument for a life without alcohol. With a special guest segment, Ruari Fairbairns from ‘One Year No Beer'.  As ever, come to this show with an open mind….

Happy New Year! Today is the first day of 2024, and there is resolution in the air. We often find ourselves in a societal loop - normalising alcohol, the very substance that dims our sparkle, only to seek remedies for the gloom it brings. Have you ever considered the silent toll that alcohol is taking on your professional drive and the quality of your connections with family and friends? This special episode could be the beginning of a year of change for you - it's time to take control. But unlike “Dry January”, it isn't about cutting back on drinking for a limited time; it's an invitation to envision a life where clarity, focus, and relationships flourish. We invite you to imagine your future, the personal growth you see for yourself, and to be honest about the very real (and mostly hidden) costs that alcohol has on your life. Behind all of this is the neuroscience powering compulsive behaviours. Learn about strategies to manage stress and prevent it from derailing your ambitions for the year ahead. And explore how mindfulness techniques like breathwork can lead to overcoming habits and living a life filled with more personal wins and self love. What does the best version of yourself look like this year? Grab some headphones and join founder Ruari in creating your personal manifesto for 2024 and beyond.

Ever wondered what it would be like to challenge societal norms, and choose an alcohol-free lifestyle? Our guest, Maik Dünnbier, director of strategy and advocacy at Movendi International, made this choice and shares his intriguing journey with us. In the face of the prevalent alcohol norm in Germany, Maik made a conscious decision to live alcohol-free and disrupt the status quo. He opens up about the psychological impact of peer pressure, and the importance of critical thinking when it comes to alcohol consumption. Navigating the complexities of alcohol policy and its societal implications, we draw attention to the commendable work of organisations trying to raise the legal drinking age and curtail alcohol availability and advertising. We hear about the successful strategies of Scandinavian countries, the potential repercussions of prohibition and explore the impact of the alcohol industry during the coronavirus pandemic - do they really use manipulative tactics to make us drink more? Addressing the alcohol industry's influence, and the burden of alcohol taxation on society and our healthcare system, underscores the need for effective policies. Maik offers his insights on the current alcohol norms and how we can instigate change for future generations in questioning the role of alcohol in our society, advocating for healthier, more conscious lifestyles.

That's the journey we explore in our conversation with Gav, a 44-year-old entrepreneur from Sydney, Australia. Gav gives us an unfiltered view into his battle with alcohol, his failed attempts to cut back, and his eventual decision to seek professional help.

This isn't just a story about overcoming dependency; it's about self-discovery, resilience, and the power of data in tracking positive change.

Sharing her immense expertise on this subject, we're joined by Dr. Rajita Sinha, a leading figure from Yale University School of Medicine, a renowned expert in psychiatry, neuroscience, and child study.
