#109 What exactly is alcohol solving, and for whom?

She seems to intuitively understand the worries and backgrounds of others.

Shida-chan says that lately, when talking to people, her antenna for sensing "maybe this person is struggling with this right now" has become incredibly sharp, and she calls this a "Spark." When she drew tarot cards, that sense was also remarkably clear, and while she felt she was on a roll, she also mentions that some troublesome side effects have started to emerge.

When she drinks alcohol, that intuition "explodes."

The "Spark" sensation, which she normally keeps in check, accelerates instantly with just one sip of alcohol. She ends up throwing deeply personal hypotheses at people, such as "By any chance, are you an only child?" or "Do you not get along with your father?" Although she has no bad intentions, she is reflecting on her behavior, wondering if she has been surprising or offending others.

It might be time to rethink the reasons and settings for drinking alcohol.

Shida-chan analyzes this situation by comparing it to "flood control," or regulating the flow of a river. Is the flow of the river too strong, or is the levee management too lax? She shares specific stories about how she has started to refrain from drinking, especially when with colleagues or relatives, rather than just close friends. Why don't you join us in the full episode to explore what exactly she was trying to solve by drinking alcohol?
