PLEASE, talk about the possibility of all this happening the same, Without consuming alcohol, for example: 'fatty liver'; I think you just opened an unresearched area of health (problems) and very very important, also how to reverse it please!
could it be: by increasing stomach acid and consuming digestive enzymes?
All this information,have you given up alcohol.
it's time to ditch the stock videos! i can't stand them anymore.
After drinking pretty heavily for around 20 years, I decided 2 days ago that enough is enough.
I need to be my best self for not just myself, but for my children.
Here’s to my attempt at sobriety
Have you tried 'naked mind' I did and have been AF for 16 months
Hey man, that’s awesome to hear. ✊
Go Jeff! 👏 Keep it Up! 159 days here ✊❤️
Good job my friend. I took the same decision 6 months ago and trust me, you will not regret it, it will be your best decision.
Jeff-I will join you. Thanks and Good luck.
Almost 1 year sober. Best decision I've ever made. Everything changed, my relationships, my productivity, my focus. Everything!!!
Absolutely Amazing job! I can’t wait to be at a year! I’m sure you feel wonderful!
@@heatharley The worls looks different, my attitude towards the world does too. I live and love in the present.
You can do it. Just keep moving forward one day at a time.
Inspirational, thank you.
2+ no drinking i hate it
That's great to hear. I love it!
Thank you for all these recent alcohol related videos! I am 45 days alcohol free and focusing on my health. The more I learn, the more I don’t think I will ever go back.
Sober 5 days here. Keep going.
That's great Heather! What helps you the most to stay away from alcohol?
Keep it Up! 159 days here ✊❤️
Stopped in
November and never going back! Keep going 👊🏻
@@radioguy801 Thank you! I think just watching videos, reading up on the effects of alcohol on the body/mind and trying to hammer those points home every day to myself. I also have a lot of hobbies (hiking, snowboarding, motorcycles) that keep my dopamine high in healthier ways.
I think the tide is turning too and it’s a lot easier these days to tell others you aren’t drinking without a lot of criticism or pushback.
If you can take 30 days off and see how you feel I highly recommend it. I have done more sober time before but this is first time I truly want to stick to it long term.
Quit drinking alcohol 8 years ago and have not looked back once. Single best decision I've ever made in regards to my health more so my mental health.
I'm fairly young 27 but I struggled with serious alcoholism for over 10 years, I actually became dependant on it because I have really bad insomnia (always have since childhood) over the years I found I was never actually getting sleep, I was simply passed out or worse, blacked out and the constant lack of sleep turned into psychotic anger issues. I almost never dreamed for over a decade and whenever I did it was simply night terrors, chronic lack of REM sleep turned me into a completely different person. Glad to say I'm clean now but if anyone reading this drinks alcohol to aid with sleep, trust me it's not actually helping
I used to be the guy who did not want to hear this. When i committed to keto and intermittent fasting, I knew I had to quit alcohol if I were to see the results I wanted. It's been 2 years since I've all but quit alcohol and I feel great! If i do drink, it's 2 MAX. Any more than that really disrupts my performance and mood three next day. It's a reminder as to why I quit that lifestyle to begin with. Thanks to people like yourself giving scientifically backed data, I've been able to lose 100 lbs and keep it off!
Been free from alcohol for 3 years. Not because I knew in my mind I should stop, but because my body felt like shit from it. Not just the hangover but WHILE drinking…it felt like I was poisoning myself.
What helped me become aware of what it was actually doing to me…was becoming aware of emotions that I had buried within me and facing them and letting them out. I became more sensitive to everything and more intuitive and loving because I was strong enough to face dark emotions. I had no use for alcohol anymore.
Consumed alcohol the majority of my 20s. Just turned 30 two weeks ago and decided to quit cold turkey and slowly transition to keto. All the best to you all
Quitting cold, not a good idea, wean yourself off it Kyle, otherwise the consequences could be catastrophic, believe me.
@@garywalling4341 only if he’s genuinely physically addicted with life-threatening withdrawal symptoms. He would have to be a heavy daily drinker. His post is too vague to assume that.

Lol
Cheers!
@@iamkyros2233 Great! I don't drink until I pass out.
Thanks for continuing to talk about the detrimental effects of alcohol. I'm generally a health conscious person but tend to binge drink. I know it's extremely unhealthy, and the more info the better! You're helping others that may want to look at their drinking!
That was where I was (healthy but still drinking too much at times) but decided finally that I am done. You’ll get there! Have you watched the Huberman Podcast episode on Alcohol? It’s definitely worth a watch!
Me too
Binge drinking is actually less damaging (emphasis on less) than chronic intake, with a few caveats of course.
If you're a young adult in your early to mid 20s, once a month, maybe twice with like 2-3 weeks in between, having a few drinks with your mates (unless you go too crazy and get shitfaced, seriously don't be that guy no one likes taking care of blacked out people and cleaning up puke) won't do you any harm long term really. The body sorts it out like any other infection or light poisoning you get and you need to give it time to recover afterwards. Obviously you want to have certain longer periods where you don't take any alcohol at all, just to recover from previous binges thoroughly. It will also make the binges more special and more fun.
Make sure you drink enough water both during the binge and after you are done, it helps massively with hangovers and prevents you from dehydrating. Avoid pairing alcohol with sugary drinks, especially energy drinks, that will only make you feel worse and dehydrate you faster, not to mention it will mess with your glucose levels which is not fun for anyone involved. Never mix alcoholic beverages, that's a quick way to go to puke town really fast. If it's a cocktail, stop at 1 or 2 servings max depending on your tolerance levels, those things can hit really unpredictably.
All this applies of course if you are otherwise moderately healthy, can handle your alcohol (no addictions, no severe reactions to even smaller amounts, you don't get drunk too quickly) and aren't an athlete (it will affect your performance). It's a better alternative than getting a beer or two every week or every few days and if you're drinking nearly every day, regardless of amount you are already an alcoholic and should probably quit entirely. Don't drink alone unless it's like once in a blue moon type thing, especially not as a way to lower stress or manage emotional frustrations. That's an easy ticket to chronic alcoholism years down the line without you even noticing.
If you're in your later 20s and older, you should really limit your alcohol intake to max 1 serving per two weeks, again if you are otherwise healthy, don't have much weight issues, can stop at a single drink etc. Best to reserve that serving when you go out with someone to a restaurant or you're out in a pub, get 1 serving with your meal or just 1 serving at the bar/pub/club if you really feel like craving a drink and can stop at 1. Get something good, really enjoy it, but don't overdo it. And again, best way to steer clear of increasing that risk of taking alcohol chronically is to never drink alone, especially not at your house. There are far better ways to unwind and manage stress, emotional pain, trauma and so forth than booze.
At that age, you should reserve binge drinking for very special occasions and that's only if both you and your mates really feel like it, it shouldn't be an obligation (well this generally applies, but peer pressure hits different at different ages). So like at most 1-2 times a year and if there is a very good reason for it like a big life event celebration. And again don't get shitfaced, nothing worse than taking care of an adult who doesn't know how to handle his alcohol intake. And again, make sure you have longer periods where you are just not drinking at all, just to give your body time to properly heal.
Yes!
Same mate. I've associated having fun with drinking. I've stopped mid week drinking but all I want to do is drink beers on Friday nights Saturday and even Sundays, most of the time I'm by myself or just chilling at home with my gf. It's really hard to stop cold turkey
My husband and I quit alcohol last month and we are seeing the benefits everyday! From saving money to being more productive and active. We used to sit around in the evening and share a bottle of wine a couple nights a week. We’ve essentially replaced drinking with physical activity and it actually feels great!
You do realize telling a drinker to replace booze with exercise just makes us scroll away?
@@cincin4515 You dont speak for everyone.
My wife and I quit after Thanksgiving. Life is still getting better and better for both of us after 90 days
@@cincin4515 lol I’m not telling anyone to do anything. I didn’t want to give alcohol up - but my liver is pissed, so I sort of had to (and no - I wasn’t even a heavy drinker). Once your liver starts having problems- the rest of you feels like crap. At any rate, when you can’t have alcohol, believe it or not being more active is really a good sub! Think about it, you get endorphin highs from a good workout (bonus cold shower after helps), it helps you sleep, it helps your mood, it provides recreation, and frankly it becomes addictive. Drinking gives you a momentary buzz, followed by feeling like crap. So actually, alcohol is a poor sub for physical activity.
Instead of wondering what bar or restaurant we are going to on the weekend, we have a number of options - hiking, kayaking, biking, golf, tennis, swimming, etc. And we still go to bars and clubs and have a Diet Coke (which I don’t normally drink so it still feels like I’m having something I shouldn’t).
I’m 10 days alcohol free and just taking it one day at a time. Deprogramming myself from the FOMO is going to take a long time.
You got this! If you need to count every single day just ignore people’s hateful comments when they tell you to stop counting days! Keep it Up! 159 days here ✊❤️
there's no bigger FOMO that being lit all the time and and quite literally missing out on all life has to offer - for me it was smoking w**d that i needed to stop bc i realised i was missing out on life stuff and that scared me that one day all i'd have left was smoking..
It becomes easier as you realize no one gives a fuck
You have the privilege of not drinking.
Some people have to medicate, you dont.
Be thankful and get on with LIFE.
What helps me is the pride i have in having discipline. While most others are too weak minded to control their emotions, we just say no and continue to make progress on our health. It’s delayed gratification and at the end of it all it will bring you more respect than drinking
Haven’t had a drink in 3 months now! I’m very proud of myself!
Excellent!
Its my 90th day.. did u continue sobriety? If yes how do u feel?
I haven’t had a drink since 2016. Best decision of my life. I will never go back to this toxic substance. I think we need more voices like this pointing out the many health dangers of alcohol
2016 doesn’t exist, nor does time so did you ever really have it? 😏
I drank heavily from age 15 to 22 . Had one bad drinking session in 1980 felt very ill. Stopped drinking and said I would never drink again and haven’t.
Well done
5 months sober and running 4 miles a day after 10 years of heavier drinking and no fitness. I also train with a boxing coach twice a week. Down 35 pounds to 175 and for the first time ever I have abs. I also dream every night and my mood has completely centered. Drinking to occupy your time can easily be replaced if you just get up and start to do it.
Well done , fantastic
I haven't had a drink since January 4th and it was one of the best decisions of my life. I don't know if or when I'll drink again but I know I don't miss it. I'm looking forward to where this journey takes me.
Great job! Me too Im at 30 days
Been sober since Jan. 18th here. Staying sober isn't really that hard so far, but it's still early also. I need to lose some weight and have failed so many times over the years due to alcoholism getting in my way, so that was my main reason for quitting. But I'm also sick and tired of the hangovers. I can't do much physical activity without feeling like absolute shit when I have a hangover, don't even want to get up out of bed for the ENTIRE day. I've wasted countless days of my life like that. I'm laid off right now (seasonal job, not a permanent layoff) and trying to find a better job...but the hangovers weren't helping at all, so I told myself it's time to just stop completely.
worst
Good for you! I’m the type of person who can get a month or two in of sobriety, and then it always starts again: knowing that with my lowered tolerance, I will be on cloud nine with just a few drinks, so why not? Just on the weekends, right? Within two or three months I’m always drinking heavier than I was before I got clean. It’s vicious. By all accounts, I’m a smart, capable guy who should know better, but this is a difficult addiction. I honestly believe you cannot just quit drinking without adding something new to your life, some sort of hobby, something you enjoy. You can’t replace drinking with not drinking. That is just perpetually, waiting until the next drink without filling that void in your life that alcohol has filled for so long.
@@mattlawson714 It's the hardest addiction I've tried to quit. I quit smoking 11 years ago, and chewing in 2015. Smoking was interfering with my breathing and figured maybe I could just chew instead, but after it started damaging my teeth I just said screw this and quit cold turkey. I was also doing coke and meth for a brief period of my younger life but gave that garbage up easily after a bad reaction one time. All the of the aforementioned was fairly easy to quit in comparison.
I've remained sober from alcohol, but I've gotten some strong cravings that came on since my last comment above. My biggest problem is that I developed a taste for straight whiskey, gin, tequila and of course beer. I love the taste of those, and that's just as much a factor in my addiction as the buzz.
I've been thinking about quitting for awhile now because I've noticed I'm not bouncing back like I used to after drinking and now I'm staying sore longer after hard workouts, plus it's not doing my asthma any favors. Thank you for posting this vid❤️
Same here esp with the soreness after working out .Im 51 now..
Watch sober videos non stop, it helped me finally do it.
Trust me, stop drinking now when you are getting these warnings. If you ignore them, it gets worse, quickly.
I almost drank me to death last year. I came out of a very toxic relationship last year juni the 15th. Due to this relationship I lost my pension money and my life in Holland. I live now in Hungary. I started to drink extremely and every day more and more until I drank 2 bottles of wine and 1 bottle of wodka a day. I had more and more thoughts of wanting to die and being a total worthless human being living in a strange country. Until the 6th of January 2023. There I experienced a severe pain in my chest to my left arm. That day I came home and sat on my couch and started to talk to myself. After a long emotional conversation with myself I never drank anymore and also quit smoking. The next day I started sports daily and since then I already lost 8kg. I started at 114 and want to go to 95kg. Not only my body heals now but also my mind. I'm still alone but not lonely anymore. I still am broke and poor, but not in my mind. I live now for myself and my sport and will walk the earth alone till I die, free of any addiction.
With God, Jesus, the Holy Ghost is best.
Wow, I'm impressed. Well done
i think the damn divorce laws are not fair to men. I mean they are with you for a time, and does that mean I have to pay for you for the rest of your life? This is the same in the US now. They get half of your stuff for sleeping with your for a little time. its what I call the giving of mens stuff to women discourse. The leftists want to do this. Keep going on brother.
Im 80-days sober, after 20 years 😢..but who’s counting! I did a full blood panel about 7-weeks in because I was terrified to do it sooner, I realized whatever the results were will be much easier to handle now with sober time under my belt. Thank you for these videos, they keep me strong and remind me of all the reasons why I quit and what an accomplishment this journey really is. Keep moving forward and never look back.
Wowzers this info is sooo true. The melatonin decrease probably worse for older folks say over 45. I am not a drinker, but recently had a night where I drank with friends. I noticed that whenever I would do this, which is rare (ie 3 times a year) I am a mess over the following week. Poor sleep, insomnia, feeling sick. I noticed this when I hit middle age
I’ve been getting black out drunk every single night for the last 3 months (I’ve had 2 sober nights) and all of these recent alcohol videos have really showed me how much damage I’m doing to myself. Tonight is my last night. Thank you Thomas!!!!
Hope it was a rager!.. lol
Be careful dude, you’re in for a miserable few weeks of sobriety if what you say is true
@@lebeccthecomputer6158 I appreciate it man. I’ve been sleeping like 3 hours every night since I’ve stopped and can’t get myself to do anything productive but I know it’ll be over soon
@@Jonathan-wi8qv if you can find pho anywhere, get some it’s absolutely miraculous for hangovers. It might get you through the first few days
Alcohol withdrawal is one of the few drug withdrawals that can kill you. If you have been getting blackout drunk for 3 months consecutively it might be worth seeking medical advice. Good luck I've heard the withdrawal fucking sucks.
Been 6 months sober never looking back, thanks for the info Thomas. This further reinforces my decision, stay healthy y’all!!
Best video out there! Let the truth ring! Quit alcohol! Transform society forever!
So happy to have discovered this channel! I’m learning so much and it’s aiding me to make better choices! 👏🏼
Great video! Thank you Thomas for sharing the truth even when it’s not always popular. Knowledge is power. I’ve seen so many people that I’d say were likely alcoholics at bars only being encouraged to have more drinks as they faded into oblivion right before my eyes; not judging, I just feel for people in this situation. There’s a problem and the only thing being done is a continued social pressure to keep consuming what they are addicted to. My father is alcoholic (38 years sober). I’ve been a ‘ light grey drinker on and off); I enjoy the taste of alcohol, but honestly I enjoy my health, sleep and vitality so much more. I’ve been sober since January 1st and have seen improvements in my health, sleep and vitality. Previous I’d have a couple drinks every now and then(perrenial DD lol), but honestly I really enjoy not drinking at all and feel like my health and sleep are so much better too! Once in a while I’d have to many drinks and would have preferred every time that I did not. And the very reason that I was good at limiting my drinks was the same reason I’d be pressured to keep drinking; this is craziness. There’s just too much social pressure. Who cares what I drink; no one has issues with anything else I consume; why alcohol? Oh yeah, and I notice a huge slow down of my metabolism when I have alcohol; another reason to not drink. I feel like moderation is often more of an unachieved goal of most who drink on a regular basis; again not judging, just empathetic for these situations where good intentions are not achieved and peoples health suffers as a result. I think there are a good minority of people who drink in moderation, but I still do not see alcohol as beneficial to anyone’s health. To each their own, but again, so thankful for you sharing the science.
Bravo, Thomas! I quit drinking almost 40 years ago and started becoming the proverbial health nut. Only now am I finding out why everyone should be doing this...
I’ve been a drinker since 2010 basically getting drunk every time I drink not just have one beer. My drinking patterns vary from once on the weekends, or two days of the weekend, sometimes every other week or a month off no alcohol, but whenever I do drink I end up drunk. This past weekend was the most amount of alcohol I have ever drank in one night, I counted a whopping 19 beers. I woke up completely lost mentally, tired and hungover restless just feel like a broken man for always falling back to drinking. I pray god gives me the strength and guidance to stop drinking. I’m ready for my sober life.
The best way you can cut back is add in healthier alternative things to do outside of drinking. Take up a sport, hobby, hit the gym, eat healthier, if you find it a struggle you don't have to quit entirely right away just reduce your consumption bro, let's say you hit the gym before drinking at least you got that out of the way and you accomplished something you feel good about and if you decide to drink afterwards you might just have a few drinks instead of binging, do what you can In This Moment don't overthink or stress about it you will eventually get there trust me it was hard for myself but implementing those ideas into my life has gotten me to pull fully away from drinking, especially how much it negatively impacted my health and personal relationships with the people I care about around me. It makes a huge difference on many levels how good you'll feel once you break free! Goodluck and wishing you the best to good health and life! 💪
I prayed God would deliver you in Jesus's name. God bless you!
Find a local AA meet up. Get on a 12 step program
I was similar to you. I don’t/didn’t drink every day but some days more than I should. I’m 42 and l really like the taste of beer and bourbon. Sometimes 6 or 7 beers would make me feel like crap the next day or I could drink 12 all day long by the grill and pool and feel fine the next day. Not so much any more as my body doesn’t process alcohol (or food for that matter) like it used to. My metabolism was awesome but the last 2 years the little beer guy started and I don’t like looking at it.
Hangovers are harder now with bad headaches and anxiety the entirety of the following day.
So a month ago I turned the page and stopped going to the liquor store for a 18 pack or a bottle of bourbon. It’s way too easy when you’re at home to go to the refrigerator or cabinet when it’s readily available so not having it there makes you go for another drink that is not going to buzz your or get you drunk. So, I started buying lemons at the grocery store and I’ll have 2 glasses of lemon water about every day. Or have a ginger ale. I started exercising at home with crunches and push ups and I’m looking and feeling better.
You’ll start being happy with how you feel after a few weeks of not drinking. I’ve cut down to one beer a week and it’s with dinner at a restaurant and eventually I want to cut it down to 1 or 2 beers a month.
One more thing you’ll be happy with is the amount of money you’ll be saving not buying drinks every week. Especially bourbon at $30-50 a bottle adds up quick.
Good luck man.
@@Adam-vs2in Thanks yes that sounds so familiar to me, I’m doing good so far I’ve been hitting the gym and sleeping well and feeling great overall just gottah keep it pushing!!
Thanks for this, it’s very important info.
Great video! I stopped drinking 5 years ago. Everything changed. I'm more driven, more focused, more creative, calmer, kinder etc. All my relationships are better. I make almost twice as much money. I was a college athlete and have always worked out, but I've never put in the intentional focus and effort that I have the last 5 years. I eat and train like an athlete. I would estimate that I now have probably a top 5% physique for where I live. 6' even, 190 lbs with 12% BF at 48 years old. It is a total game-changer. Also very important to get your T levels checked, monitored and if need be, supplemented. (This is usually not your family doctor because they don't know enough about the subject.) All thanks to God and waking the hell up.
Brilliant, I stopped one week ago,
Thank you for sharing this. I am trying to go AF but man, it’s insidious. The education is what helps.
I quit 23 years ago at age 40, and I’ve never looked back. I lost 150lbs on Keto.
Right on time for me. Thank you.
Thanks Tom, really helpful, pretty in line with what I've experienced and researched
Keep putting this info out there. I definitely don't want to hear it but need to. I've made great strides with diet and resistance training, but need to improve with alcohol.
Very informative. Thank you!
I was a daily drinker from 17-39 (2 years sober in that time). At least 8 drinks per night. Way more on weekends and a few years in there when I drank from breakfast to passing out late at night.
I’ve been sober for just over 18 months now and I wish that everyone would give sobriety a shot. The effects that alcohol has on the body, mind and spirit is not worth whatever benefits the user gains in the moment.
To everyone getting sober or already sober - keep going. It is 100% worth the effort and the dedication. It might feel lonely sometimes but there are millions of us out here with you!
Wow, that’s a huge change. Have you noticed significant changes in your physical and mental health and overall well-being?
@@johncitizen8828 Definitely. I was waking up nearly every night around 3am sweating, highly anxious, deep burning itch in my shoulders - liver related issues. That went away after a few days. Waking up without a hangover will never get old. However, the difference between how quickly my body recovered when I did a year sober at 36 and the time it’s taken to recover now at nearly 40 is huge. The extra 18 months of drinking between the sobriety took its toll massively. I recommend getting sober as young as possible because it really does catch up quickly after 35.
Mentally, I’ve been left with the issues that the drinking was covering up so it’s been a long process of discovery and healing that I’m still very much in. But when I compare my day to day life now to when I was drinking, every part of life now is better than it’s ever been because I’m in growth mode. Alcohol dependence only creates stagnancy and decay.
@@sarahbee6881 Amazing work Sarah. Thanks for your considered reply. Best of luck moving forward.
@@johncitizen8828 thanks 😊
@@dg9015 I’ve got pretty extensive experience with intrusive thoughts. I don’t experience it nearly as bad as it used to be though
Thank you! Thank you! I’ve been searching for months, looking for videos/information about how alcohol actually effects the brain/body. Working on my sobriety and it helps so much to truly understand how harmful the substance is. Again thank you!
I have been a casual drinker for years. I have had sleep issues for as long as I can remember (insomnia, not being able to fall asleep, etc). I just thought I was a “night person” with a circadian rhythm different from the norm. I quit drinking 8 months ago. Around month 2, my sleep turned amazing. I would start yawning around 930pm and go to bed around 10pm and immediately fall asleep, and wake up feeling rested around 6am with no alarm clock! This study is spot on. Over the years, I routinely would take a month off from drinking in October as part of an overall health reboot. The month didn’t really affect my sleep cycle. The real change seems to occur during month 2.
Thomas - thank you for taking up this subject (drinking) and exposing people to the negative effects of alcohol.
Excellent Information! Thank you! 💚
I love this...I gave up drinking 14 months ago after almost 50 years of 3 - 4 glasses of wine a night.
So I am glad that I have done myself so much good.
This was really well done. Thank you!
Thank you Thomas! This is motivation!
Thanks, I really needed this right now.
Watching an early video of yours on the effects of alcohol on the physiology helped to cement my decision to stick with being alcohol free. That was six years ago and I'm in good shape, especially for being 48. Big Mahalo Thomas for everything you do, Aloha.
This is amazing info that i didn’t know. I’m definitely quitting occasionally drinking whisky.. Thanks for this one thomas 💯
Love it can you do one for Marijuana?
Alcohol and I had a good 20 year run. Only drank like 4 days in Jan and haven’t had a drop since. Going to keep it going…
Great topic!
Great video! You are saving lives

Thats A LOT....where are you come from ?
What, you can't finish the 12 pack???
Yeah, I find that interesting how people react so differently. I was always fine as well.

Definitely working on stopping the alcohol
Thank you for posting. I am going to watch this everyday (at wine o’clock) as I attempt once again to go sober. Only on day 3. 🤞
Good info, great to know.
Thank you for your highly researched videos. I enjoy them a lot.
Maybe you could make some follow ups about other recreational drugs and how they affect the body chemistry in the long term
Perfect timing! My young son told me that I'm cut off from alcohol. I'll show him this video.
I didn't have a drink for 3 or 4 months, went out this past Sunday. Had 2 beers and my whole week has been off since then. This was the first time I've noticed it. Thanks for informing!!
Great video and awesome kitchen.
I recently stopped drinking as I realised it’s kind of stupid.
When you list all the negatives and positives you realise the only positive is that you get a slight buzz and have lower inhibitions (arguably a con as well). Whereas the positives are almost endless.
The impact it has on your life is monumental both physically and mentally. It sometimes feels like socially we’re caught up in the biggest corporate lie of all time.
Also, if you’re someone who drinks and looks down on all other drug use… that’s probably a sign you need to smell the roses.
I love this video so much
Thanks for this video I learned a lot of information on health listen to your channel excellent 👍
Thank you man!!!
I’m enjoying my fourth can and loving your clip. Thanks for the inspiration. (reaching for the fifth)
Thanks for doing this video. No wonder I can't sleep after drinking! Sobriety is better than any buzz...
Thank you for Alcohol getting me some awesome info trying to stop alcohol sure like see a video how long it takes to get alcohol out your body been 3 weeks no alcohol
Very good and informative video
Haven't even listened yet, but it's the 18th and my 1st day in the green on Whoop recovery since Valentines Day. No alcohol or sugar since New Years. 2 glasses of wine, 2 pieces of Russell Stover and a piece of cake at 1am! Been practicing early time restricted eating so it hit me hard. My blood sugar was okay because I did damage control with barberry, chromium and an acv lemon drink.
I love it !!! I never need alcohol
to a have good time .
In fact alcohol in general makes me feel like crap. So glad there are more eduction and research on the bad effects/risk of of alcohol in the last three years. Now there are more zero
Proof cocktails (Mocktails) and people like myself who don’t think can really enjoy the craft without the alcohol. Thanks Thomas for this video.
I’m excited to hear this news because I quit drinking 3 weeks ago and love to hear how beneficial it is to quit
I’ve been sober for around 4 years. Just recently I’ve been having a few beers on the weekends and I have been in a general negative mood lately. This video literally made me realise it’s the booze. I’m going back to dry and sober instantly
Same
So glad your talking about this .. people need to hear it and wake up.. one beer turns into 2, 2 turns into 4 , and so on
You say "we're not going to like what we hear." You have a point -- but this video also brings very good news: it means that there is a very easy way to majorly boost fitness. Busting out tough reps is hard work. Supplements are expensive. But not drinking is a simple move with huge benefits. Love it.
I am trying my best to change. I hope to continue to become alcohol free. it has been more than a month. I do IF with thomas and shred with chloe ting.
Thank you! Combine that with Allen Carr's books 🙏🏽❤️📚
Thank you for the videos on alcohol.
Well said ❤❤❤
Thank God for your Mission with this Video! 159 days No Alcohol 🏆🥇
More 💰 for Bills &
Best I’ve felt in at least 10 years 💫🏅
Thanks for this. Please keep uploading information about alcohol. Not drinking and seeing it for what it is, a poison, should be normalized.
I used to think that drinking alcohol was bad for me, so I quit thinking. Cheers!!! 🍺🍸🥃🥂🍻🍷
It’s double more addictive than sugar. Blegh
Found this video ironically after being off the sauce for about 4 weeks now. First time in my life i've ever completely stopped drinking - and can 100% confirm these results. I used to never make it through a night without waking up, now I am getting probably the deepest most restful sleep i've had since I was a child. Can't wait to see what other benefits result from staying off of it.
13 years sober....unable to even put into words to even share a miniscule portion of the VAST changes manifested in my life.....spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically and financially.
If you desire change, then reach out to someone sober and ask them for some guidance.....then, and only then will the magic begin, IF you listen to their input and follow through with immediate and resolute action.
You got that right, brother. "Magic", indeed. I called it "Getting superpowers" after I quit in 2019!!
I drink ~7-14 drinks a week and I've decided to avoid alcohol unless theres a celebration because I dont think I could do those sober. So here's to cutting out mindless habitual drinking in the middle of the week. Its a start I guess
After the New Year I decided to cut Alcohol to 2 drinks a week. I have found that I either skip it all together or I am more particular in what I will drink.
Thank you for this. I am a hypoglycemic due to missing part of my intestine. I started wearing a blood sugar sensor and alcohol definitely causes hypoglycemic reaction.
Read allen cars book - easy way to control alcohol. Helps you push the last ones also!
More of these videos plz
I did an experiment on my body some time ago. I was doing keto/ADF and religiously losing ~ 0.2-0.3 lbs per day for about a month. One night I had a few drinks, and the next day I was up over 5 lbs on the scale. It took me over a week to get back down to my weight that I was on the day I had the drinks. Sucks to go backwards like that because of a few drinks one night. I could not imagine the damage caused by daily alcohol use/abuse. I remember doing Atkins well over 20 years ago, and the book said hard liquor was fine on it. I now don’t think that to be such great advice for me.
Watching with a hangover
Thanks for the info! Do you know how much difference it makes what amount of alcohol is consumed and what type of alcohol? For example, would you say 1 glass of Dry Farm wine once in a while would still cause detrimental effects?
Thomas, your final sentences in this video are absolutely golden.
Oof yeah, don’t drink. I have epilepsy so not a good idea. I knew a woman who was a functional alcoholic. She used it to relieve grief from her husband’s death. She got better with it, but ultimately, it made cognitive issues. She had a reading level of maybe 4th grade. It was so sad to see. She was a kind and caring woman. She was my aid. She helped me with everyday tasks cause seizures don’t let you decide when to have them.
Thanks for posting. I hope someone struggling with drinking issues see this and realize they are worth so much more than they realize. Not to mention all the health problems from its consumption.
I never drank more than a few glasses of wine per year, but stopped all alcohol 22 years ago.
I had a glass of wine with dinner every night for 30 years. Told myself it was my reward for getting through the work day. Except two years after I retired I was still having the wine with dinner, so I gave it up 4 years ago and don’t miss it at all. It was just a habit.
Clicked for the thumbnail, stayed for the content. Good stuff Thomas!
6 years sober from alcohol and it’s funny because you get so used to feeling good that there’s no longer any of those days where you look forward to feeling better😅.
Great video - thanks as always! I know 0.5% beer technically has alcohol, but I'm genuinely interested to know if having one of these 0.5% beers a night on the odd occasion would cause the drop in melatonin and cause an insulin spike like a full strength beer would?? I assume it wouldn't, or it would be very low if it did?
Priorized quality sleep. Added I.F. Stopped alcohol. Now researching insulin resistance and quitting sugar. Praying for everyone here. Self love!!
I'm so glad your doing videos on this topic. I'm thrifty days sober this is so informative
Me too! 30 days
Keep up the great work!
@@MsSheilaC way to go!
Congrats on 30 days!
Failure to adequately address mental state is traceable to failure to navigate the mistakes of the past and also the fear and apprehension embedded into the future of life's experiences
Seeing this after my first night of drinking in weeks...
