Alcohol with Silvia Subirana

Alcohol with Silvia Subirana joined Dr. John M. Torrens on The Total Entrepreneur for one episode on mind.

What Alcohol talked about

Silvia Subirana discussed changing one's relationship with alcohol, arguing that moderation can be as valid a goal as full abstinence and that people overestimate how much others scrutinize their drinking choices. She made the case that non-alcoholic alternatives like mocktails offer a low-friction way to cut back socially without having to justify oneself.

She also addressed the physiological side of drinking, arguing that no amount of alcohol is truly safe and that tolerance only masks its effects rather than removing them. She discussed how alcohol disrupts sleep architecture, contending that even when it knocks people out, the body is working against its depressant effects overnight, resulting in poorer rest than expected.
