You’ll hear eye-opening statistics along with practical, compassionate guidance for anyone rethinking their relationship with alcohol - so whether you're sober-curious, cutting back, or simply want to make more informed choices, this episode offers non-judgmental support, science-backed insights, and realistic tools for better health.
