10-Minute Mondays: Chasing the Buzz

In today's 10-minute episode, we're diving into something I like to call "chasing the buzz." Ever find yourself going out for just one drink, only to wake up the next day wondering what happened? Yeah, we've all been there. It's easy to keep chasing that good feeling once it starts, but here's the kicker: there's a point where it just doesn't get any better.

I'll break down the science behind why that euphoric buzz peaks at a certain BAC and why anything beyond that is all downhill, bringing more negative consequences than good vibes. Plus, I’ll share some practical strategies to help you stay mindful, like pacing yourself, trying zebra striping, and knowing your limits before the night even begins.

So if you’ve ever regretted that one last drink, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn how to recognize when you’ve hit the sweet spot and avoid the pitfalls of overindulging. As always, I appreciate your support and would love your feedback. Let’s get into it!
