Listen "109: Costs Pt2: £62,899 Burnout"
Episode Synopsis
This is part two of my mini-series on the true cost of alcohol-free drinks. Last week, we pulled back the curtain on the industry economics — from research and development to supermarket shelf space. This week, I’m shifting the focus to you as the drinker. Yes, an AF pint might cost the same as a full-strength one, but what about the money saved on late-night taxis, hangover takeaways, or rounds of shots? Beyond that, I dig into the personal costs: lost sleep, low mood, missed workouts, strained relationships, and even burnout. Choosing alcohol-free isn’t just about the price of one drink — it’s about the long-term gains for your financial, emotional and physical health.0:00 The Cost of Drinking Alcohol-Free pt 23:48 Drinking with friends8:07 Next day costs10:52 £62,899 in a lifetime12:54 Personal costs: hangovers & sleep15:58 Social & emotional costs16:35 Work life costs & burnout19:23 Physical costs20:42 Cost withdrawal vs depositsAlso mentioned:alcoholchange.org.ukBest episode to listen to next: #108: Costs of Drinking AF Pt1: What You’re Really Paying For ===🌱 Reset the way alcohol shows up in your life with the 4 Week Midlife Mindful Drinking Resethttps://www.lownodrinker.com/4weekreset===🧐 Take the quiz and find out what's REALLY driving your midlife drinking habitshttps://www.lownodrinker.com/===💰 Get 10% off drinks at Wise Bartender with code LOWNODRINKERMAGAZINE https://wisebartender.co.uk/lownodrinkermagazine * ===*Some links are affiliate links.
