An alcoholic doesn't have to drink every day.

Alcohol is so normalized in our society that it's often difficult to identify when it stops being a social habit and starts to become an addiction or dependency.

In this episode, I sit down with Alfonso Ortega, better known as @cocituber, a food and hospitality content creator, to talk about alcoholism and recovery from his own experience.

We discuss how to identify alcohol dependency, what happens in the brain, guilt and the role of family, how to stop drinking, and what pharmacological treatments are available.

We also talk about something particularly interesting in his case: how to continue working surrounded by bars, restaurants, and alcohol after having stopped drinking.

Is it possible to enjoy gastronomy without alcohol? Does an alcoholic stop being one when they stop drinking? Are we normalizing alcohol consumption too much?

An episode to understand alcoholism and discuss addiction from experience and medical evidence.
