Alcohol can function as a shortcut for comfort in social situations among people with social anxiety. Mindfulness practices can strengthen self-regulatory capacity through neuroplasticity. Bitters on the posterior tongue are described as activating the vagus nerve and the rest-and-digest response. Hypoglycemia is described as an overlooked driver of alcohol cravings. Understanding why a person drinks is presented as the starting point for reducing alcohol use. Yoga Nidra is recommended as a functional substitute for alcohol's relaxation effect.
