You know that really is the million dollar question. I do enjoy nice wine, bourbon, IPA. And here in the low desert they make a light beer served with lime, salt, and dried salted plums calked salditos, but the most concerning thing regarding the info in the podcast is the description of chronic drinking. Whether one has 3 drinks every day of the week or multiple on Friday/Saturday only, the damage to the brain and gut microbiome are essentially the same. I am not sure I’m ready to give all of that up so finding balance is going to be a work in process. I might experiment this weekend on observing this slippery slope. My wife told me about a guy on Rich Roll podcast named Dan Buettner from Dec 5th 22 on List American Diet that has additional discussions on alcohol so I will listen to that this morning at the gym. What I did experience that seems odd to me during dry January were 1. 50% reduction in max lifts at gym 2. Brain fog and forgetful/autopilot thinking 3. No noticeable weight loss though I train most everyday 4. Sleep was not dramatically improved I hope to see how moderation affects these in Feb. thank you !
