The Silent Costs of “Just One Glass”: Alcohol and Health Risks Every Woman Should Know (and How to Quit Drinking for Good)
View Transcript
Episode Description
Have you ever told yourself, “It’s just one glass, it can’t hurt”? The truth is, even small amounts of alcohol come with hidden health risks, especially for women. From cancer risk to anxiety, poor sleep, and faster aging, that nightly glass of wine costs more than you think.
In episode 243 of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on the silent costs of “just one glass” and why being honest about alcohol is the first step to real freedom. If you’ve been bargaining with yourself or stuck in the moderation cycle, this conversation will help you shift your sober mindset and see why quitting for good is worth it.
What You'll Learn In This Episode:
- The link between light drinking and higher cancer risk
- How alcohol disrupts hormones, sleep, and increases alcohol-induced anxiety
- Why “just one” fuels poor rest and the cycle of alcohol relapse
- The connection between alcohol and aging, and why your skin changes after quitting
- The emotional exhaustion of trying to drink less alcohol, but never feeling at peace
- How a sober coach can give you the tools and accountability to stop bargaining with yourself
If you’re telling yourself “just one glass” isn’t a big deal, this episode will show you the truth and remind you that freedom, confidence, and health are waiting on the other side.
