Alcohol Neuroscience: What Drinking Really Does to Your Brain (It's Worse Than You Think) - James Swanwick

Alcohol Neuroscience: What Drinking Really Does to Your Brain (It's Worse Than You Think) - James Swanwick

Most people think alcohol just "takes the edge off." But what if it's actually taking your edge away? In this episode, James Swanwick breaks down the neuroscience of alcohol—what's really happening inside your brain every time you drink, and why even "moderate" consumption may be costing you far more than you realize.
You'll discover:
How alcohol rewires your brain's reward system (and keeps you coming back for more)
Why your focus, memory, and decision-making quietly decline over time
  • The truth about dopamine, stress, and why drinking actually makes you feel worse long-term
  • What high performers are doing differently to protect their cognitive edge
This isn't about fear tactics or telling you to quit forever. It's about giving you the clarity and awareness to make smarter decisions about your drinking—so you can operate at your highest level in business, relationships, and life.
If you care about your performance, your future, and your brain… You'll want to hear this.
