How To Enjoy Without Binging Or Overindulging
Circling back to the point of the article, when it comes to a drink, maybe you shouldn’t have too many too often. You can definitely enjoy a drink or two without overindulging or binging.
The first way you can do this is by knowing and learning your limits. See how you feel after 2 drinks and try not to go past that.
The second way is to avoid alcohol when you’re feeling overly sad, mad, anxious or depressed, or even when you’re feeling extremely happy and wanting to celebrate. These are moods and feelings that may take you over your limit if you decide to have a drink.
Also, get tested and checked out by your doctor. You’ve probably heard this plenty of times before but it’s always better to be safe than sorry.
So enjoy your drink (or two), but make sure you are always aware and up to date with where your health stands.
