  • Summary

  • The Alcohol Minimalist podcast is dedicated to helping habit drinkers and adult children of alcoholics to change their drinking habits and create a peaceful relationship with alcohol: past, present and future. We are proof positive that you can break unbreakable habits and create a peaceful relationship with alcohol. Becoming an alcohol minimalist means: Choosing how to include alcohol in our lives following low-risk guidelines. Freedom from anxiety around alcohol use. Less alcohol without feeling deprived. Using the power of our own brains to overcome our past patterns and choose peace. The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast explores the science behind alcohol and analyzes physical and mental wellness to empower choice. You have the power to change your relationship with alcohol, you are not sick, broken and it's not your genes! This show is intended for educational purposes and does not constitute medical advice. If you are physically dependent on alcohol, please seek medical help to reduce your drinking.

    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.

Alcohol been your annoying partner in quarantine?

THIS IS YOUR PODCAST IF:
You are beginning to think maybe you or a family member has been drinking a little more than feels right in this pandemic year. Or you have felt alcohol plays too big a role in your life over several+ years. Or you have a family history of over-,use and you know 12 step programs are not your answer.
In a a fresh, friendly, informative and approachable, way,Molly Watts, breaks down alcohol's True science, explores ways to think positively about choices and helps you decide if and how alcohol fits in your life.
Nothing preachy, this is a wise friend who has forged a peaceful path of her own and allows you along on the journey, encouraging you to be your own navigator.
Very easy to listen to, well produced and each episode stands alone but I encourage you to start from episode #1.
#19, is also a great starting place as it debunks myths about alcohol that might be trapping you.
Along with Molly you will meet fascinating experts or folks that offer resources.
I'm a podcast junkie and can not say enough good things about this one!
