Let’s be honest, shall we? Changing anything about ourselves—whether it’s dropping a few pounds, kicking a bad habit, or finally learning to play the guitar instead of just air-jamming to Led Zeppelin—is a bit like trying to herd cats while riding a unicycle and juggling flaming torches. It’s bloody hard. But when it comes to quitting drinking, the stakes are higher, the demons are louder, and the excuses are as plentiful as cheap ...

Many of us have heard the saying, "buy the ticket, take the ride," which essentially means that once you commit to something, you must fully engage with the experience to gain its full benefits. This philosophy couldn't be more relevant when it comes to quitting drinking.

Recent research has sparked a significant conversation about the health implications of alcohol consumption. A comprehensive study featured in The Lancet, one of the world's leading medical journals, has concluded that there is no safe level of alcohol use.
