Laura: 我认为在我们的社交圈子里,对酒精的看法正在发生变化。过去,我可能依赖酒精来增强自信和融入社交场合,尤其是在晚上或大型聚会上。但现在,我发现自己越来越不需要它。自从有了孩子,加上我的伴侣不怎么喝酒,酒精对我来说变得越来越不重要。我开始反思自己过去对酒精的依赖,并意识到现在的生活中,它不再是必需品。 Brittany: 我一直都不是一个喜欢大量饮酒的人。我喜欢在晚餐时小酌一杯,或者在阳光下喝一两杯鸡尾酒,但仅此而已。我曾经因为感到需要参加派对而承受压力,但这并不是真正的我。现在,我更喜欢与朋友们一起度过轻松的时光,而不需要酒精来助兴。在我的单身派对上,大多数人都是清醒的,这表明了一种转变,即人们可以在没有酒精的情况下享受乐趣。 Keisha: 我对酒精的看法与大多数人不同。我过去并不认为自己与酒精有问题,因为我喝醉后不会惹麻烦。然而,自从我被诊断出患有ADHD并开始服药后,我对酒精的渴望几乎消失了。我意识到过去喝酒是为了寻求多巴胺的刺激。现在,我不再需要酒精来缓解社交焦虑或放松自己。我发现不喝酒后,我的焦虑感大大减轻了。

Hey Lifers!

Laura has given herself an ick and Britt has a new friendship test that has crossed the line even for Keeshia. There are just some things that friends draw the line at and that point has been established.It was Britt’s hens party!! We had the best day and early night! We have a conversation about sober curiosity. Have you noticed a shift in alcohol in your friendship groups?

How do you feel about your partner’s phone use before bedtime? Apparently it could be ruining your relationship. So is it a bit of a harmless decompression time or should we really be trying to be more present? 

**Could ‘the Robin Hood’ effect excuse Luigi Mangione of murdering United Health CEO Brian Thompson? **The trial is happening right now and there has been a documentary released called ‘Who Is Luigi Mangione?’ We unpack the rather strange public and celebrity response to this case and some studies that explain just how far attractiveness bias and the halo effect extends. We also speak about the ethical ambiguity at the heart of the Robin Hood effect: the belief that wrongdoing is excusable—or even noble—if the victim is morally corrupt.
