This episode explains why the first and second drinks do the heavy lifting, and why everything after that is just chasing a feeling your brain can no longer deliver. Learn to slow down, savour, stop at one or two, and switch to low/no or functional drinks that keep the ritual without the consequences. A practical, science-backed guide to staying in control while still enjoying the moment.
