Myth: Alcohol only affects your mood.

Reality: By cutting back on alcohol consumption, you will see changes in everyday life including-more energy, better sleep, improved mood and better overall physical health.

Another reality: Alcohol increases stress levels in the body as you drink. You may feel more relaxed, but the body is actually under an increased amount of stress from the alcohol. Know the facts.
