| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Take a Break podcast with Rachel Hart episode 231. |
| 0:06.0 | Whether you want to drink less or stop drinking, this podcast will help you change the habit from the inside out. |
| 0:12.5 | We're challenging conventional wisdom about why people drink and why it can be hard to resist temptation. |
| 0:19.0 | No labels, no judgment, just practical tools to take control of your desire and stop worrying about your drinking. |
| 0:27.0 | Now here's your host, Rachel Hart. |
| 0:34.0 | Alright people, we are talking about hangovers today and I just want to say before we begin. |
| 0:40.0 | For all of you listening who think, I don't get hangovers, let's just skip this episode. |
| 0:45.0 | I want you to consider two things. |
| 0:47.0 | Number one, if you're someone who you think I don't really experience hangovers. |
| 0:52.0 | I want to encourage you to listen to episode 49. It's called settling when it comes to your health and it talks a lot about how we can often be blind to very subtle impacts that alcohol has on your body. |
| 1:05.0 | So I watch this happen all the time in the 30 day challenge. |
| 1:08.0 | People will come into the challenge reporting zero hangovers, zero physical side effects from drinking. |
| 1:14.0 | And they'll want to do the challenge because they'll say, I just don't really like that I have a habit. |
| 1:19.0 | I don't like that it's become a nightly thing. I don't like all those extra calories and what it's doing for my waistline. |
| 1:26.0 | And then they take a break and they start doing this work. |
| 1:31.0 | And maybe a couple days in or a week or two weeks in they say, oh my gosh, I can't believe how much better I feel. |
| 1:38.0 | I had no idea how a couple glasses of wine was affecting me. |
| 1:43.0 | I just thought that feeling groggy and run down was all part of getting older. |
| 1:48.0 | So for all of you thinking, I don't get hangovers. I just want you to keep the possibility in your mind that alcohol may be affecting your physical health, |
| 1:56.0 | even if it's only a single glass of wine every night. |
| 2:00.0 | You may not be aware right now of the side effects because we're so used to thinking of hangovers. |
| 2:04.0 | It's like, oh my god, I feel wretched. When really it might be something very subtle that's just flying under the radar. |
