Alcohol Minimalist: Change Your Drinking Habits‪!‬ Molly Watts, Author & Coach

This week on the podcast I'm talking about mindset specifically as it applies to changing your drinking habits. I'm giving specific tips on how to uncover your thoughts and to determine if those thoughts are useful/helpful/true/necessary or kind in terms of helping you take the actions that you need to take to get the results that you want in your life.  If the thoughts create negative feelings that have you wanting to avoid taking action, then those thoughts are not useful to us and we want to start recognizing that and actively choose to redirect our thinking. This is a practice. It's a buildable skillset...AND it's necessary to create sustainable change.

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.

We're breaking it all down and helping you focus your brain on all the positives that come from creating and keeping plans around alcohol.
