The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast Molly Watts

This week on the podcast I'm continuing on with our conversation all around drink plans, drink habits, goals and personal development as it applies to your relationship with alcohol.
In this second part of a three-part series, I'm talking about drink plans vs your drinking goals. 
Do you have clear and specific goals when it comes to including alcohol in your life?

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 alcohol
Abstinence 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” drinking
Following 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.
If you' are unsure about whether or not you have alcohol use disorder, please visit the NIAAA for more information.

This week on the podcast it's the first of a 3-Part series on goals/habit change/and plans. 
Specifically I'm talking about the difference between making a drink plan and planning to drink. 
Do you plan multiple alcohol-free days in your week but reserve the weekends for "drinking" that leads to over-drinking and all the negative consequences associated with higher BAC levels?  This episode is for you. 
Join me in the 30-Day Nutrition Upgrade starting on March 18th.

This week on the podcast I'm joined by friend of the podcast, Monica Reinagel.  We're discussing a recent episode of the Nutrition Diva that Monica recorded based on a listener question.  The question spurred Monica to dive into a 2022 article analyzing the 2020 Global Burden of Disease Study. 
We're talking about it all (and then some).
