You don’t need to hit rock bottom for alcohol to be a problem. Many people fall into what’s known as grey area drinking—a space between social drinking and full-blown dependence. They’re high-functioning, holding down careers, raising families, and ticking all the boxes. But behind the scenes, alcohol is taking up more mental real estate than they’d like. It’s not just the drinks themselves—it’s the constant internal dialogue. Should I? Shouldn’t I? How much is too much?
In the latest episode of In the Wellness Hood podcast, @Lucy Hemming breaks down what grey area drinking really means and why so many people feel stuck in an unhelpful cycle.
I also join the conversation to explore the deeper health impacts of alcohol—from gut health and hormones to mental wellbeing. Even if you’re not drinking heavily, could alcohol still be undermining your health in ways you hadn’t considered?
If this resonates with you, it might be time to rethink your relationship with alcohol. Tune in to the full episode here: https://www.thewellnesshood.com/podcast/episode/294b6bc5/ep-60-lucy-hemming-and-jo-brownlow-re-evaluating-alcohol-are-you-a-grey-area-drinker
