In this episode, William Porter, author of Alcohol Explained, tackles the common myths and misconceptions about alcohol that many of us hold. 

William, a former addict turned lawyer and veteran, brings a unique perspective grounded in both personal experience and a rational, objective analysis of alcohol. His approach isn’t about promoting absolute abstinence or vilifying drinkers but rather providing you with straightforward facts to help you understand and reassess your relationship with alcohol.

Throughout the conversation, William methodically deconstructs the falsehoods often believed about alcohol - that it aids sleep, serves as a crucial social lubricant, or offers relaxation after a stressful day. With a candid and no-nonsense approach, this episode illuminates the actual effects of alcohol on our bodies and minds, equipping you with valuable information to navigate your drinking habits consciously and mindfully. 

Whether you are considering moderation, quitting, or merely reflecting on your drinking, this episode offers essential insights for everyone.
