CW: alcohol/alcoholism mentioned 

Many in the minimalist community have no-drinks or low-drink phases if not long-term commitments. I also was recently surprised to learn that some people drink just for social purposes (to be "fun" or to fit in, as opposed to out of the enjoyment of the drink itself) - I had always assumed people drink because they want to, because that's what I did. In this episode, I talk through why I didn't drink until I turned 21 despite attending a US university (read: frat and house parties pre-COVID), my thoughts on alcohol and its value - and how all of that relates to minimalism.
