The best way to summarize this episode is with a quote from it:

"What the fuck are you talking about, restrictive? You're giving yourself a great gift! When was the last time that you woke up, feverishly looking for your cell phone, trying to see who you sent a picture of YOUR TITS to last night?"

Everyone is lying to you. They've brainwashed into thinking that life without alcohol is terrible and that withholding it makes everything worse, miserable, unenjoyable, and insufferable. Baby, that isn't the case.

In this episode, I talk about the concept of "cognitive dissonance," what that means, and how it applies to you as a drinker.

I tell you exactly why everyone is wrong, and point out that yes-- it's a fight. As Annie Grace says, 80% of the population drinks and a large majority of them wish to drink less, or not drink at all. When you're battling that large of a percentage, it is a pain in the ass- but YOU can succeed.

Also- everything is worse when you're drunk. Especially drunk sex. Drunk sex is terrible.
