While it’s common to joke about wine-drinking culture, relying on alcohol to cope with family demands and work stress is no laughing matter.
Drinking a glass of wine can provide relaxation and enjoyment at first, because alcohol affects neurotransmitters such as dopamine (the pleasure neurotransmitter). However, alcohol has a disruptive effect as your body breaks it down, so unwinding with a glass at night might result in fragmented sleep and frequent waking. Lack of good sleep may make you tired and irritable the next day, fueling daily stressors.

Since moving to South Lake Tahoe more than 2 years ago, I’ve spent a lot of time participating in community forums and City Council meetings. Within moments, labels like "local," "patriot" and "environmentalist” come forth and are used to dismiss and exclude others from the community discourse. These terms are clear examples of the “no true Scotsman” logical fallacy that painfully and unnecessarily divides us.
