Episode description
Join Steve and Matt as they dive into the recent Surgeon General's warning about alcohol being a carcinogen, exploring what this means for both drinkers and non-drinkers alike. Drawing from personal experience and scientific insights, they discuss how younger generations are increasingly questioning alcohol use, the rise of mocktail culture, and why "moderate drinking" might not be as healthy as once believed. The hosts share candid observations about changing societal attitudes toward drinking, particularly among teens and young adults, while exploring how this public health warning could impact drinking culture over the coming decades. Listen in as they compare this moment to the evolution of cigarette warnings and their impact on smoking rates, offering thoughtful perspectives on what this could mean for future generations.
