Top of Mind with Julie Rose

Rethinking Drinking: America’s Evolving Relationship with Alcohol


Listen Later

Alcohol is a deeply embedded part of American life—woven into celebrations, identity, and social norms. But from health warnings to sober-curious trends, new questions are surfacing about what we drink, how much, and why.
In this episode of Top of Mind, we explore how cultural attitudes toward alcohol have evolved and why more people today are rethinking what it means to drink responsibly. We also look at the science behind alcohol’s health impacts and the history of how it became so normalized in the first place.
What do these shifting perspectives mean for the future of drinking in America?
