aperitif every day

One every now and then is not annoying, nor harmful, but as soon as consumption is repeated and a habit is established, one must enter into a surveillance area, even if only for biological reasons. “By drinking every day, we will have a physiological and behavioral habituation, a reorganization of reward circuits. Many studies demonstrate the toxicity of moderate but regular consumption: it increases the risk of developing some diseases and also The liver can be more vulnerable. Furthermore, women are much more exposed than men in terms of risk.”

There is also the difficulty of control consumption. “It only takes one drink. You don’t have to spend money on a second, a third, a fourth, which can calm some people’s enthusiasm. We are at home? Sitting on the sofa, have we thought about an online aperitif? We will tend to open a bottle, alone, and generally, when you open a bottle, you run out. By maintaining this evening ritual, we expose ourselves to a greater extent to the addiction we may have difficulty breaking the habitdrinking even more”. “All studies show that stressful situations such as those experienced in everyday life ultimately increase the prevalence of addictive behavior”.

Try going two days a week without alcohol. “We can also have an aperitif every day, but what is not based on alcoholic beverages”.
