Everyone wants to know how to start drinking less, but most of the advice out there skips past practicalities and focuses just on the theory.
Week three of the summer series tackles the two questions that get asked more than any others: where do I start, and what do I do? I'm sharing the exact steps that got me started over five years ago, and they're not the ones you'd expect from a typical "just cut back" article.
Plus, a few practical moves for before a night out that make a bigger difference than most people realise — and one in particular that's easy to forget when you're focused on managing what's in your glass.
By the end of this episode you'll know...
- Where to actually start if you want to drink less
- The one question to ask yourself before setting any drinking goals
- What to do before a night out to make moderation easier
- Why one habit matters more in midlife than it did in your twenties
- How to get the right support without making a big thing of it
