How to reduce alcohol consumption and improve our relationship with drinking with mixologist and mindful drinking expert Camille Vidal

On today’s episode I have a good friend of mine, Camille Vidal, creator of Mindful Cocktails and founder of La Maison Wellness, to talk to me about reducing alcohol consumption and improving our relationship with drinking.

Camille Vidal is a globally recognised bartender and drinks expert turned mindfulness, Yoga and Meditation teacher.

And she’s a true pioneer in this field. Cami (aka @mindfullycami), is on a mission to inspire the world to bring mindfulness into the glass, showing that Tasty doesn’t have to be Boozy.

For some people, abstinence is absolutely necessary and the number of sobriety tools and programmes are increasing. But for many of us, myself included, we still want to enjoy the very occasional alcoholic drink whilst being mindful of the ill effects.

As somebody who is consciously trying to reduce my own alcohol intake I loved chatting through the statistics regarding how many other people are trying to cut down rather than abstain completely from alcohol. I’m somebody who appreciates a chilled rose or a glass of fine red with a meal, and I’m excited to explore a new world of no and low alcohol drinks that put my health first whilst still being able to enjoy a refined and sophisticated pairing with food.

We talk about:

• The difference between Sobriety and Mindful drinking
• The Diuretic effects of alcohol

• Strategies to reduce alcohol such as, Remove replace reduce and Bookending
