Everyone loves dopamine right now, but most people don't fully understand it.

We know that it's involved in addiction and pleasure,

and that we get a huge burst of it when we drink and it gets depleted when we drink too much.

But in this episode I'm going to explain dopamine's role in motivation, cravings, and building associations with our drinking.

One of the earliest signs of addiction is loss of control, so I will explain how dopamine contributes to us being able or unable to

control how much alcohol we drink. And before we dig in I'd like to take a moment

and thank my sponsors who made this episode

possible.
