In this episode, we explore the complex relationship between alcohol and our bodies and minds. We delve into the reasons why we are drawn to alcohol and how it affects us on both a physiological and psychological level. From its impact on our mood, behavior, perception, and health, to the way it alters the functioning of specific areas of the brain and affects our cognition and action, we cover it all.

But our exploration goes beyond the individual level. We also take a look at the bigger societal issues related to alcohol, such as crime, violence, and historical patterns. We examine how alcohol has shaped our culture and the way we interact with each other.
