Is Alcohol Quietly Sabotaging Your Work Performance?
We often talk about alcohol’s effect on physical health, but what about the way it impacts your performance at work?
In this episode of The Drinking Rethink, co-hosts Kathryn Elliott and Chris Gimpel explore how even small amounts of alcohol can reduce mental clarity, dull decision-making and quietly chip away at your leadership potential.
If you’ve ever felt foggy on a Monday, struggled to concentrate after a big weekend, or assumed alcohol wasn’t affecting your career, you might want to think again.
You’ll hear:
✔️ The neuroscience behind how alcohol affects brain function, even days after drinking
✔️ How alcohol can lower emotional intelligence and reduce leadership capacity
✔️ Real-life stories from Kath and Chris on the surprising benefits they gained when they drank less
✔️ Practical strategies to boost energy, focus and productivity without relying on alcohol
This isn’t about giving up alcohol completely. It’s about rethinking whether alcohol is helping or holding you back, especially in your career.
Whether you’re a high performer looking for an edge or simply curious about what alcohol-free clarity feels like, this conversation offers powerful insights and fresh perspectives.
