QUICK QUOTES:
“Your intention for your night out shouldn't be, I want to go out tonight and not drink as much as I did last week, or I want to go out tonight and not get absolutely rat assed. Your intention needs to be based on something positive, something you want to achieve, something you want to get from the evening. You need to focus on where you're going and what you're getting, not what you're trying to get away from.”
If you’ve decided to drink differently but still want to enjoy your social life, this episode is your ultimate guide to mindful nights out.
I walk you through how to plan before, during, and after your evening so you can stay in control and still have fun.
From setting clear intentions and managing expectations with friends, to communicating with the bar staff and why staying hydrated is so important as we age, if you do decide to drink.
We’ll look at practical moderation techniques like zebra striping and coasting, plus, importantly, how to reflect without judgment the next day.
Because drinking less in midlife shouldn’t mean missing out on good times with good friends.
