Edward unpacks the fascinating role alcohol has played in shaping human society, from fostering social bonds to sparking creative breakthroughs. We explore how intoxication has influenced culture, cooperation, and innovation throughout history. Edward also challenges modern perceptions of drinking, offering a thought-provoking perspective on why humanity continues to embrace alcohol.
