Types of alcohol are just beverages…so why are they often such big deals or even problematic? In this episode, JP opens up about his relationship with alcohol and the reasons and results of his decision to go a full year without drinking beer (or any other adult beverages). His perspective and experience is shared with no shame or self-judgement; it’s just an honest evaluation of a new approach that’s proved beneficial.

If you’ve ever considered changing your thinking about drinking, this podcast may be helpful. Regardless your stance on drinking alcohol, it’s important to make decisions for yourself by being informed.
