Health Problem Drinking

Has anyone watched any William Porter videos on YouTube?

Seems to have a pretty good perspective on the cycle of problem drinking.

He’s also done a book but there seems to be plenty of info in the videos without worrying about reading the book.

Any particular videos you recommend?

This was the first one I watched – it is from about 6 years ago – he’s become a better public speaker since then

He sounds quite nerdy but he’s actually an ex-Iraq war English soldier

His drinking spiralled out of control after coming back from the war to the extent his wife left with his children

He quit drinking and spent the next year researching exactly how alcohol affects you and why it is so hard to quite (or moderate)

I’ve watched a few of the other videos that come up when you search on his name on YouTube, some of them just him talking, others him being interviewed

The basic messages in each of his vids are similar but he sort of explains the same things in slightly different ways which I found helpful

Obviously your mileage may vary but I really like the way he explains things and a lot of what he says makes sense to me
