Ep. 59: Alcohol Explained with William Porter

Do you wonder why drinking alcohol helps you feel relaxed and then leaves you awake at 3am? Or why do you have trouble moderating how much you drink? How is it possible that alcohol is both a depressant and a stimulant? Why does a substance that makes you feel euphoric later leave you feeling so low with anxiety and a hangover? And is it actually true that alcohol is actually good for you in small doses? [spoiler alert: the answer is no] My guest today is William Porter, the author of Alcohol Explained and Alcohol Explained 2: Tools for a Stronger Sobriety. I’m a big fan of his work and the way he breaks down a scientific approach to what happens to the body and mind when you consume alcohol into something that’s easy to understand.
