so here’s a question how much alcohol  does a person actually drink per year now  

really depends on what country that you live  in and also if you’re male or female men drink  

a lot more than women despite the different  phrases you might hear with distressed moms  

drinking mommy juice or having a wine o’clock  whatever that means but in the u.s the trend  

is definitely going up for the amount of alcohol  consumption per year presently in the u.s per year  

an average american consumes about 2.5 gallons  of alcohol or 9.5 liters of alcohol now even  

now the trend for drinking more alcohol is going  up in the u.s we’re still i think rated about 48  

in the entire world there’s other countries that  drink a lot more nigerians consume 3.4 gallons of  

alcohol every single year or 13 liters but first  place goes to the country of belarus they consume  

4.6 gallons of alcohol every year which is 17.5  liters now these figures are somewhat misleading  

let’s just talk about the u.s for a second in  the u.s 30 of the population does not drink  

i’m in that category another 30 of americans  drink less than one drink per week okay that’s 60  

but 10 of americans consume the lion’s  share of alcohol it’s more than 10 drinks  

every single day and of course this comes up  to 70. so the other 30 is right in between  

this and this and so if you look at this average  it’s not that every single american is consuming  

you know more than one drink a day it’s really  certain people are drinking a lot and certain  

people are not drinking hardly anything at all  and of course a lot of people drink to reduce  

stress and it’s very addicting and so i want to  talk about a couple things that relate to this  

the problem with alcohol is what it does to the  liver there are certain enzymes in the liver  

that break down alcohol into certain chemicals  and some of those chemicals are way more toxic  

than the alcohol itself and so when the  alcohol depletes the vitamins and antioxidants  

that are supposed to protect the liver that  protection gets lost so we have a lot of free  

radical damage we have a lot of liver cells that  get destroyed and we have a lot of oxidation  

which then leads to scar tissue not to mention a  fatty liver and sometimes that deficiency creates  

the need for more alcohol so this kind of goes  back and forth right here there’s a really really  

good substitute for those people that want to  reduce their alcohol or or come off alcohol  

that is kombucha tea now the key with kombucha tea  is to read the back the label to make sure that  

you don’t buy the one that’s over two grams of  sugar per serving size you want the kombucha tea  

with the lowest amount of sugar but kombucha tea  has a very similar texture to champagne or beer  

it’s very carbonated it’s somewhat thick and when  you drink it it has certain things in it that can  

not necessarily make you feel like you’re drinking  alcohol but make you very very relaxed and it does  

have a very very small amount of alcohol but  it’s not the alcohol that does anything it’s the  

certain natural chemicals in kombucha tea that  are very relaxing and so that’s a really good  

substitute i recommend it the other thing that  i think is very important is taking nutritional  

yeast on a regular basis you can get in a powder  you can get a pill form i’ll put a link down below  

for more information on that but taking enough  vitamins especially nutritional yeast because  

it has the b vitamins can prevent the loss of some  of the vitamins that are depleted from the alcohol  

and not just protect the liver but decrease the  cravings for alcohol as well as reduce the stress  

or the need for alcohol even more so these two  things are probably the most important two things  

that you want to recommend for someone that is  weaning themselves off of alcohol all right so  

last question is and i’m real curious go ahead  and type in the comment section below of how much  

alcohol do you consume per week all right thanks  for watching before you go if you have a question  

about a product or you’re new to keto and you want  to know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and  

you need a debug because it’s not going as smooth  i have a keto consultant standing by to help you
