Summary

There are many factors that determine how long alcohol stays in the body because, of course, we are all different. Our bodies are different sizes, our tolerance levels are different, the length of time we’ve been drinkers is different, etc. And to throw one more complicated difference in the mix, our brains and how they compensate for the presence of alcohol are different.

Join Annie as she introduces an analogy that demonstrates how the brain compensates for the presence of alcohol even before we drink in order to attempt overall balance in our very different bodies.

Are you ready to make instant changes to your drinking? The answer is not in restriction or deprivation. And, you don’t need more self control. I am here to tell you that you can break your patterns and habits and finally feel liberated from alcohol. You can return to a life where alcohol is small and irrelevant for you, a non-issue, take it or leave it. In fact, I have three secrets to control your drinking and I am going to teach them all LIVE in a special 3-day FREE virtual event from March 28-30. Learn the Three Secrets to Control Your Drinking (and make changes instantly) live with us! Save your spot today at ControlAlcoholLive.com. We can’t wait to see you there!
