This is part of my re-release series and was first aired in 2019.\xa0\n\xa0\nHow does alcohol fit into your life? Have you ever given it any thought?\n\xa0\nMy guest on this week\u2019s podcast is Andy Ramage, a performance coach and author. He\u2019s also one of the founders of One Year No Beer, a habit-changing programme that invites people to try 28, 90 or 365 days alcohol free \u2013 and see what it does for them. Andy was like many of us, he was not an alcoholic but he was what he calls \u2018a middle lane drinker\u2019. He would drink a little bit to unwind, at work events, when he saw his friends and probably a little bit more on the weekends. Andy started off on a 30 day trial without alcohol and now hasn\u2019t drunk any alcohol for six years and says he can\u2019t envisage doing so again. But his agenda is not to make you stop drinking for good. It\u2019s to demonstrate that taking a break from the booze can bring a surprising host of benefits, even if you don\u2019t think of yourself as a problematic drinker.\n\xa0\nAndy and I delve into just what some of those benefits might be. We discuss how alcohol is so ingrained in our social lives and often our work culture that often we don\u2019t even consider what life would be like without it. It\u2019s linked to every part of our lives from relaxation and fun to social bonding or even just relieving boredom. We talk about societal expectations and peer pressure and both of us share our own individual stories and our own journeys with alcohol. Finally, Andy shares some brilliant, practical tips to help anyone who maybe considering tactical break from alcohol.\n\xa0\nThis is a really inspiring conversation.\xa0Whether you\u2019re already thinking of cutting down, it\u2019s not something you\u2019ve considered, or even if you\u2019re already abstaining, I hope you\u2019ll find some life-enhancing lessons in this podcast.\xa0\nThanks to our sponsors:\nhttp://www.athleticgreens.com/livemore\nhttps://www.vivobarefoot.com/livemore\nOrder Dr Chatterjee's new book\xa0Happy Mind, Happy Life: UK version:\xa0https://amzn.to/304opgJ, US & Canada version:\xa0https://amzn.to/3DRxjgp\nShow notes available at\xa0https://drchatterjee.com/277\nSupport the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.
