'I drink to relax'

Why did/do you drink? Do you still hold the belief that drinking is the ultimate shortcut to relaxation? We're certainly told this (and sold this), on adverts, billboards, and just about every Hollywood film known to humankind. Watch any high-pressured TV program and what will the winner say after they're handed the title? 'I NEED A DRINK!'. The message? Alcohol relaxes us, alcohol regulates our emotions. But is this the whole picture? Is it possible we've been lied to by big alcohol? When Ellie realised that drinking might not just be the silver bullet for relaxation that she had always believed it was, it propelled her on a journey to her best self and she's never looked back. Come and join us as we shine a light on the truth behind a belief that many of us have held as 'fact' for a long time.
