Karolina challenges one of the most normalised habits in modern life — social drinking — by exposing the quiet tension many people feel but rarely question. She shares her own journey from a “healthy during the week, undo it at the weekend” lifestyle to discovering that alcohol wasn’t enhancing her life, but masking a deeper lack of fulfilment. What looked like balance was actually a cycle of progress and setback, and once she stepped away, she began to see alcohol not as a reward, but as a distraction from a life that wasn’t fully aligned. The conversation goes deeper than just giving up alcohol. Karolina breaks down the beliefs many people hold — that alcohol relaxes you, boosts confidence, or makes socialising easier — and shows how these are often illusions rooted in biology and conditioning. For entrepreneurs especially, she reframes the question: not “Do I have a problem?” but “Is this still serving the person I’m becoming?” The real shift isn’t about restriction — it’s about awareness, identity, and building a life where you no longer need the escape.","meta_description":"Full episode: https://youtu.be/8CTNmzVX1FA?si=W-S4er06qq4JOweq https://open.spotify.com/episode/7iTrVixuErDHxP5Io0UF5E?si=zgcdk0hpS0yDVnQSq-UaeA In this b…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1245,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-inner-entrepreneur-6700943/episodes/bitesize-the-lie-we-tell-ourselves-about-drinking-191/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-inner-entrepreneur-6700943/bitesize-the-lie-we-tell-ourselves-about-drinking-191.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
