Description

This week I get back to the roots of the show and talk about drugs, specifically alcohol. How does it work? 
What does it do in the body? 
Why is it so popular in so many cultures? 
How has capitalism both attacked and encouraged alcohol use at various times? 
Why did prohibition happen in the first place? 
How did our relationship with alcohol change as neoliberal capitalism expanded?
