Have you ever poured a drink to unwind, only to find yourself angrier than before? In this eye-opening episode, anger expert Alastair Duhs explores the often misunderstood connection between alcohol and anger.

Whether you're a casual drinker or someone who struggles with outbursts after a night out, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a practical path forward.

Key Takeaways:

-Alcohol lowers your inhibitions and impairs judgment, making you more likely to lash out in anger

-If you already have unresolved anger, alcohol can act like gasoline on a fire — intensifying aggression and conflict

-Drinking doesn’t cause abusive behavior, but it does magnify emotions that are already beneath the surface.

Recognising your personal limits and planning ahead can help prevent alcohol-fueled arguments

-If drinking regularly leads to regret or outbursts, it may be time to reconsider its role in your life.

-True change comes from looking inward — at the beliefs, habits and triggers that drive your anger — not just cutting back on alcohol.
