Summary
Alcohol consumption in the US just hit its lowest point in nearly 90 years, and the conversation around drinking has gotten a lot more nuanced. Ryann, Sabrina, and Nic get into why people are drinking less, what is actually driving the change, and what the growing market of alcohol alternatives looks like for people who still want something in their hand at a social event. They cover the real impacts of alcohol on sleep, recovery, performance, and mental health, how to think about it if you have a complicated family history with it, and why there is a meaningful difference between not drinking and demonizing people who do. Plus a breakdown of the actual alternatives, which ones are worth trying, which ones are mostly marketing, and how to figure out what actually fits your lifestyle.
