Trumpās Alcohol Tariff: Why It Wonāt Stop People Drinking
Thursday Mar 20, 2025
Thursday Mar 20, 2025
Governments think they can control alcohol consumption through pricing, but they fail to see the truth.
Ā
A 200% tariff on European alcohol might sound like a good move, but letās be honestāpeople donāt quit drinking because itās expensive. They cut something else instead. Thatās the power of the Liquid Lieāit makes alcohol feel like a necessity, no matter the cost.
Ā
š„ What Youāll Learn:
ā Why price hikes wonāt make people stop drinking.
ā How alcohol consumption isnāt a financial decisionāitās an automatic response.
ā The real cost of alcohol beyond moneyāyour health, energy, and peace of mind.
ā Why governments keep getting it wrong with alcohol policies.

The Day I Quit Gambling and AlcoholāFor Good

šØ The Day I Quit Gambling and AlcoholāFor Good šØ
Ā
They donāt make wise, rational choices. These inner child partsāthe ones running the show when we drink, gamble, binge, and scrollāarenāt strategists. They donāt think ahead. They react, they chase, they grasp at control.
Ā
Thatās why I bet beyond my bankroll. Ate junk food I didnāt even like. Bought shit I didnāt need.
Ā
It was never about the money. It was about control. Trying to soothe something inside me that alcohol had numbed but never healed.
Ā
When I quit drinking at 35, I thought that was the big boss battle. But lurking in the shadows was another problem, bound to my drinking like handcuffs. And the moment I let go of alcohol, gambling disappeared effortlessly.
Ā
š„ What Youāll Learn in This Episode:
ā Why alcohol and gambling are more connected than you think.
ā How alcohol keeps you stuck in a cycle of impulsive, self-destructive choices.
ā Why quitting alcohol wasnāt enoughāI had to go deeper.
ā How the STRIVE Method helped me dismantle the illusions of control.
ā Why keeping momentum after quitting alcohol is everything.

Blacking out wasnāt just a phaseāit was the norm. Not just for me, but for everyone I drank with. We laughed it off, wore it like a badge of honour. But hereās the truth: blackouts arenāt harmless.

š The Football Booze Myth ā Does Alcohol Really Enhance the Game? ā½š»
Ā
Scotland is debating lifting its long-standing alcohol ban at football matches. But does drinking really make the experience betterāor is it just another illusion?
Ā
Weāve been conditioned to believe that booze enhances the thrill of live sports. But if you take a step back, youāll see the reality: alcohol numbs your senses, drains your wallet, and distances you from the raw energy of the game. Iāve been to football matches both drunk and alcohol-free as fuck, and let me tell youāthe difference is night and day.
Ā
This isnāt just about football. Itās concerts, festivals, and live events. Weāve been sold the idea that drinking is part of the ritual, but the real magic? Itās in being fully present.
Ā
š„ What Youāll Learn in This Episode:
ā The truth behind alcoholās grip on football culture.
ā Why drinking actually dulls the experience, rather than enhancing it.
ā The hidden cost of alcohol at sporting eventsāfrom missed moments to financial waste.
ā How to challenge the myth and show up fully present at your next match.
Ā
šÆ Todayās Vow:
āI will not drink today. I will challenge the belief that alcohol makes any live event better. I will be fully present for the things I love.ā

Why Quitting Alcohol Makes You Feel Like an Outsider (And Why Thatās a Good Thing)
Ā
You donāt need to fit ināyou need to stand out.
Ā
A listener shared: āI stopped drinking four years ago, and this is the first thing Iāve heard that makes me feel normal. I feel like an outsider around my friends. I find it hard to socialize with people from work. I feel like Iām not fun for others to hang out with anymore.ā
Ā
Hereās my responseāGOOD.
Ā
When you break free from the Liquid Lie, you stop being part of the herd. You start thinking differently, living differently, and thatās what sets you free. The truth is, most people feel like outsidersāthey just drown that discomfort in alcohol. But you? Youāre brave enough to see it.
Ā
In this episode, weāre flipping the script on loneliness after quitting alcohol. Youāre not missing outāyouāre waking up. And once you stop trying to fit in where you donāt belong, you open the door to the people who truly get you.
