The Booze Paradox: Why Temperance Cultures Have The WORST Alcohol Problems

Is alcohol inherently harmful, or is the way we talk about it the real problem?

In this episode, Dr. Stanton Peele and Zach Rhoads tackle the cultural contradictions around alcohol consumption.

They break down why countries that drink more tend to have fewer alcohol-related harms, why "NO SAFE LEVEL" messaging is misleading, and how a temperance mindset might actually INCREASE problem drinking.

They also explore how harm reduction isn't about numbers -- it's about life.

Tune in for a no-nonsense discussion that challenges mainstream narratives on addiction, public health, and the way we view substances.
