179. Avoid Blacking Out On Alcohol : 6 Lessons From Drinking Too Much

Have you blacked out on alcohol? Cause I for suuure have. Over the past 10 years I’ve gone on a rollercoaster of a ride journey with alcohol.I’ve had some of the best of times with it & also some of the darkest times. Through this journey I’ve learned to become more intentional with when I send it and for what reason.I’ve also learned the steps to take so that I can remember the night and feel decent by the morning. Today we’re diving into the 6 lessons I’ve learned from drinking too much.

6 lessons I’ve learned to avoid blacking out

• 1 : Prepare yourself ahead of time by making sure you’re eating enough calories and drinking enough water before you go out. 
• 2 : Be very intentional about when you send it and for what occasion. I no longer just drink to drink, I try to find a valid reason otherwise I’ll pass on it for the night which makes it much more enjoyable when I do give myself the green light. 
• 3 : It’s a marathon not a sprint. Be very mindful of what you’re drinking and how often because these drinks can add up quickly which can result in you getting too drunk too quick. 
• 4 : Mixing in waters often helps you not get drunk too quickly and helps from having a hangover the next day.
• 5 : Don’t cave to peer pressure. If someone offers me a shot and I don’t want it, I say no. I don’t care what their reaction might be or what they may say, I do what’s best for me.
• 6 : Be very mindful of your decisions while drinking. Easier said than done, yes, but absolutely crucial and necessary.

Challenge for the listeners

• Spend 10 minutes within the next 24hrs and reflect on your journey with alcohol. Has it been smooth sailing, a bumpy ride similar to mine or maybe nothing all that great? I’m not here to suggest you quit drinking or fill up another cup but I challenge you to block out what society may be leading you to believe or what your peers may say and instead ask yourself : Do I like the direction I’m headed and if not, what changes would I like to make?
