Low 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.

This week on the podcast we're diving into a topic that affects many of us on this journey: shame. If you've ever felt ashamed of your drinking habits, you're not alone. We'll be discussing what shame means for those of us who struggle with overdrinking and, more importantly, how we can stop a shame spiral and start making positive changes.

This week on the podcast I'm joined again by Debbie Hampton. After decades of depression, a serious attempt to end her life, and a resulting brain injury, Debbie Hampton not only survived, but went on to thrive by discovering the super power we all have to better our brains and lives. Neuroplasticity is the superpower we all are born with and possess until the day we die. On www.thebestbrainpossible.com  Debbie shares information about the tools she used to heal herself and her life physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Today we're talking about her new book: How to Use Mindfulness as a Mental Health Tool:  To Beat Depression & Anxiety, and Change Your Brain
