ADULT DRINKS 101 Vinnie and Anna are sharing ideas for NSNG®-compliant adult beverages. Vinnie emphasizes that alcohol is a poison and mentions a Huberman Lab episode (August 2022) that discusses the science of what alcohol does to your brain and your body. (23:00) Distilled liquor is NSNG®, and Vinnie explains why. (24:00) Anna provides ideas that you can do. (27:00) This leads to chatting about bitters and "abominations" like some Italian liqueurs, like Fernet-Branca, Fenocchio, Campari, and Aperol. They are not fond of Prosecco and champagnes either, apparently. Anna mentions how in social situations the odd pressure for everyone to like the same things, and they talk about very visceral reactions to certain behaviors. (37:00) Anna explains the BS behind marketing behind "dry wines". (39:00) They also chat about grain alcohols and how awful they are for you. When it can be used as fuel for a go-cart, it's best to steer clear. Anna also has a delicious drink recipe on her Substack (blog) here. (43:45) They both share ideas on infusing real flavors into liquors. Be careful: when on NSNG your body processes alcohol very quickly and it can affect you much harder. (51:00) Vinnie and Anna recommend sticking to one drink. Also, remember alcohol is a poison and a sugar and your body will want to process that first; if you drink regularly and aren't really losing weight, the problem could be alcohol. Your body will always process the alcohol first and it will never get to burning your fat. Be aware of how much you may be drinking–remember, you are NSNG to become healthy. (54:00) They also discuss the risk and the varying ways that people use alcohol as a crutch. Self-awareness is necessary, and you have permission to NOT drink alcohol as well!
