When it comes to alcohol, the line between fantasy and reality is often blurred.

@Dralex George Here are three lies you’ve been told about alcohol 👆 #alcohol #Alcohol Free #very curious ♬ Original Sound – Dr. Alex

Stress relief? Obviously not!

As for the myths that he wanted to dispel, Dr. Alex I initially targeted the idea that drinking alcohol would make you less stressed. “It has been scientifically proven that drinking alcohol increases baseline cortisol levels.” He explained. “This means the exact opposite of what we’ve been told, which is that alcohol makes you more anxious.” He added.

Is alcohol fun? No

Many people confuse consumption Alcohol With fun, but Dr. Alex wanted to end this illusion once and for all…

People were asked to think about whether it was drinking that they enjoyed or all the other things associated with it, such as going to the pub with your friends and spending time with them.

“Do you really like alcohol or are you having fun because you are in a fun place with people you love? If I asked you to remove one element from this equation to make the moment less enjoyable, you would definitely choose alcohol.”He said.

He then challenged his followers to think about how they felt the day after a night of fun and whether all the consequences were worth it. Alcohol.

Doesn’t drinking make you boring? Of course not!

This may be one of the biggest changes you can notice right away, just as your body reacts to stopping alcohol, so does your social circle.

Dr. Alex stated that the key to having a good time with others is “being able to share experiences” and “connecting with people” rather than how many beers you can have.

This is something that others who have quit alcohol have also found, as when they shared their experiences many noted that their friends called them “boring” because they didn’t drink.

They said they lost their relationship because they were described as “too boring” after quitting alcohol, and admitted they had also called off relationships in the past with a partner who did not drink for the same reasons.

However, most of them explained that quitting alcohol does not make you boring, but rather frees up a lot of your time and you should find something to replace it, it is the perfect time to take up a new hobby.
