It's STILL Dryuary Mini-Series: When Everyone Around You is Drinking

Back for more of It's STILL DRYUARY mini-series-day three.
Today I'm talking about the pressure you might feel when everyone around you is drinking alcohol and you're not.
This is more than just simple peer pressure, it's all about managing our minds.

Are you looking for some other folks who are working on their drinking habits, committed to science and learning what's fueling the desire to drink?  Check out my the Alcohol Minimalist private Facebook group. It's another great free resource.

Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:
Healthy men under 65:
No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.
Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:
No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.
One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.
Abstinence from alcohol
Abstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.
Benefits of “low-risk” drinking
Following these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work.
If you' are unsure about whether or not you have alcohol use disorder, please visit the NIAAA for more information.
