The Alcohol Episode We Didn't Want To Do | EP14

Alcohol is woven into South African culture. The braai, the wine farm, the post-match beer. This is the episode we did not want to do, because we are not here to ruin the fun. We are here to give you the information so you can make smarter choices and have more good days. In this episode (which we didn't want to do) Sean Lunn, Faf du Plessis and Dr Michael Mol get honest about what alcohol could actually be doing to your body, your sleep, your performance and your fat loss. No fear-mongering. No preaching. Just the biology, so you can decide how and when you drink with your eyes wide open. We get into why the "safe" dose could be far smaller than anyone told you, why one drink the night before could quietly cost an athlete their edge, why you wake up wired at 3am, the truth behind the red wine myth, what beer could be doing to your hormones, and a simple framework for drinking smarter when you do choose to drink. The goal was never to be the person who ruins the Friday night braai. The goal is to be the person still at the braai at 80.
