Summary
What role does alcohol really play in your life? To mark Alcohol Awareness Week (6th- 12th July), Patrick is joined by Adam from Alcohol Change UK for an honest conversation about the theme Alcohol & Me and why taking a closer look at our relationship with alcohol could be one of the most important things we ever do. Get ready to hear how they explore: Why alcohol has become part of almost every celebration, sporting event and social occasion. How marketing has convinced us that alcohol makes life's best moments even better. The hidden ways alcohol affects sleep, anxiety, stress, relationships and energy. Why so many men use alcohol as their "off switch" at the end of a busy day. The power of community when you're trying to change your relationship with alcohol. How a simple moment of reflection can become the beginning of lasting change. Adam also shares his own personal experience of alcohol-related harm, the work Alcohol Change UK are doing to reduce alcohol harm across the UK, and why Alcohol Awareness Week is about curiosity, not judgement. If you've ever wondered whether alcohol is giving you more than it's taking away, this conversation is a great place to start.
