Ever imagine a world where we can consume alcohol without worrying about hangovers or other health issues? In this episode, we journey through France's shocking decision to destroy 80 million gallons of wine due to a drastic plunge in consumption from its zenith in 1926. We dive into the reasons behind this shift, exploring the changing alcohol habits of modern generations.

We also uncover an astonishing innovation from a London-based company, a synthetic alcohol that promises the joy of drinking minus the unwelcome after-effects. As we observe the rising popularity of zero-alcohol drinks and zero-alcohol bars in New York City, we also explore an intriguing development from a San Francisco company: a pill designed to curb alcohol cravings.
