On Day Twelve of the Mindful Drinking Advent Series, we explore the magic of that first sip — the exhale, the shoulder-drop, the tiny moment of relief we’ve spent years associating with alcohol.

This episode explains why the first and second drinks do the heavy lifting, and why everything after that is just chasing a feeling your brain can no longer deliver.

Learn to slow down, savour, stop at one or two, and switch to low/no or functional drinks that keep the ritual without the consequences.

A practical, science-backed guide to staying in control while still enjoying the moment.

On Day Ten of the Mindful Drinking Advent Series, we dive into the sensory joy of mulled everything — wine, apple cider, even tonic water if you’re feeling experimental.

Mulled drinks are one of the simplest wins for low/no drinkers because the craving isn’t for alcohol at all; it’s the cosy warmth, the spices, and that unmistakable festive aroma.

This episode shows you how to create the full Christmas-market feeling at home, and why mulled drinks are the ultimate December hack for staying mindful without missing out.
