  Oct 6, 202627 min

  Setting a goal to have just one drink can feel simple enough when you make the decision ahead of time. But then you finish that drink, you want another, everyone around you is still drinking, and suddenly all the reasons you had for stopping at one don't feel nearly as convincing. This week, I'm answering a listener question about how to stick to your goal of one drink when the alcohol is flowing. Most of us put all our attention on the number and assume following through comes down to discipline or willpower. But there's another part of the plan that's easy to overlook, and it can make all the difference when it's time to stop.

  488: Why do I drink even when I don't enjoy it? [Listener Q&A]

  Sep 29, 202616 min

  It can be incredibly confusing to keep reaching for a drink when you're not even enjoying it that much. Maybe it doesn't taste as good as you expected, the buzz isn't delivering what you imagined, or you find yourself pouring another while wondering why you're doing it at all. This week, I'm answering a listener question about why we continue drinking when part of us doesn't even want it. We'll explore why focusing on everything you dislike about drinking may not give you the answers you're looking for, and why there's another side of the equation that's easy to overlook.

  487: When you're trying to drink less but surrounded by temptation

  Sep 22, 202615 min

  Being surrounded by alcohol can make drinking less feel almost impossible. When your partner drinks, your friends want another round, or so much of your social life revolves around alcohol, it's easy to believe you'd have more success if you could just get rid of the temptation. This week, we're exploring why changing your environment can be helpful without making it responsible for your success. Avoiding certain situations may give you some much-needed breathing room, but believing you can only succeed when temptation disappears can create a different problem, especially when alcohol inevitably shows up again.

  486: Using the people you love as motivation to drink less

  Sep 15, 202611 min

  Wanting to drink less for the people you love can feel like powerful motivation. Maybe you want to be a better parent, a more present partner, or simply stop giving the people closest to you a reason to worry. But relying too heavily on those reasons can create a problem you might not see coming. Tune in this week to discover why doing this work for the people you love can sometimes backfire. You'll learn how an invisible scorecard can start influencing your decisions, why resentment can make giving in suddenly feel more appealing, and how to find reasons for changing your drinking that remain compelling no matter what the people around you are doing.

  485: How Under-Fueling Leads to Drinking More

  Sep 8, 202612 min

  That mid-afternoon or end-of-day craving for a drink can feel incredibly predictable. Maybe you assume your brain has simply learned that this is when you drink, but what if there's something else turning up the volume on your desire for alcohol? This week, we're exploring the connection between under-fueling and drinking more. What if some of the signals you interpret as wanting a drink are tangled up with something happening in your body? And what if years of rules about when, what, and how much you should eat have made that connection harder to recognize?
