In this episode, we explore the topic of moderate drinking and its surprising dangers. While many believe having a drink or two a day is harmless, recent research suggests otherwise. We break down the science behind how even moderate drinking can affect your health, relationships, and daily life.

Through this candid conversation, listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the risks associated with moderate drinking and the importance of seeking help if they or someone they know is struggling. Join us for an eye-opening conversation on the surprising dangers of moderate drinking.
Our Cohost, Luke, then describes his surprising discomfort towards their future 5-day silent retreat that they will both attend later this year!
