Do you drink mindfully or do you simply drink according to your habits and the predominant culture?
Well most drinkers can agree that drinking mindfully is easier said than done, especially if you’ve been heading to the bar for years, drinking and socialising go hand in hand for some.
For some people it’s just the feeling of having something in their hands while they chat to their mates and for others it’s a way to loosen up and socialise.This often leads to us drinking more than we realise and not really even enjoying the drink itself.
Drinking mindfully will help you enjoy the experience of drinking more and help you avoid drinking excessively which has its own slew of consequences.
According to a post on HuffingtonPost.com.au it all starts with pausing and asking yourself whether or not you really want that next drink, weighing the pros and cons.
It could also involve ordering one more expensive wine or cocktail instead of four of the cheapest house wines available.
