This Real World Nutrition episode discusses mindful drinking during summer celebrations, from Memorial Day to weddings, cookouts, and beach vacations. Shelley revisits some of the themes from last month’s episode on Alcohol, Stress, and Health: Finding Balance, and shifts the focus toward how alcohol fits into the fun and flow of summer events.
Shelley discusses why drinking is often part of the social scene, and how this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t drink, but instead how to stay mindful about what and how much you consume. From sugar-heavy cocktails to beachside beverages, and how alcohol + summer heat can equal fast dehydration, Shelley offers practical strategies to sip smarter.
You’ll learn how alcohol affects hydration, sleep, and appetite (yes, late-night pizza is often part of the package), and why many people notice weight gain post-vacation, even when they thought they weren’t eating more.
This is not a lecture; just real talk about enjoying your summer parties without sacrificing your health or waking up with regrets. This episode will help you approach summer gatherings with confidence and awareness, whether you drink or not.
