I enjoyed this discussion about alcohol and drinking habits so much, I figured I'd put it on Modern Wisdom too. Lots more talking by me on this one, which you might enjoy.

As bars & pubs reopen after lockdown, it's a crucial time to remind yourself of being intentional & deliberate with your drinking. Rather than restarting a weekend warrior lifestyle, now could be a great opportunity to reset your routine & habits around alcohol. Enjoy this discussion, big thanks to Ben for letting me use the episode.
