Alcohol is deeply woven into our culture — from celebration to stress relief to social connection. But what does the science actually say about how alcohol affects the brain and body?In this episode, we’re joined by health psychologist and alcohol researcher Dr. Megan Strowger, PhD to explore the physiology behind alcohol’s effects on sleep, anxiety, mood, inflammation, and long-term health. This conversation isn’t about judgment or restriction. It’s about understanding the science so we can make informed, grounded decisions about our own relationship with alcohol.
