Alcohol has been a cornerstone of Western civilization for thousands of years. From the alters of our great cathedrals to the bargain bins of our corner shops, booze runs through the heart of our society – both cleansing and corroding that in its wake.

In this episode I'm joined by Dru Jaeger, co-author of How to be a Mindful Drinker and co-founder of Club Soda. Together we take on mindfulness and its misconceptions, drinking culture in the age of isolation, alcohol's role in society, masculine identity, national identity, friendships, sexual consent, social anxiety, addiction, underage drinking, fad teetotalism and a whole load more.

I hope you enjoy.
