Episode description

Zach Rhoads and Dr. Stanton Peele contemplate the transfer of knowledge about alcohol from Science to Society — and how imperfectly the job gets done. “Alcohol: Even a Little Bit Is Harmful!” the headline screams. It turns out that none of the experts interviewed advocates abstinence — including the director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (now there’s a title!).

In fact, those who drink, worldwide, live longer with fewer disabilities than those who never drink, according to WHO. What gives? Is the New York Times guilty of malpractice, or just sowing confusion — especially for older Americans, who benefit the most from drinking.\

Do we Americans do better simply living and drinking from our core values and lives? Sigh. You're on your own when it comes to deciding to drink (or use drugs) or not.
