Drunkard's Cloak

Rachel Teichman, LMSW, and Victor Varnado, KSN, take a historical detour to discuss the "drunkard’s cloak," a humiliating punishment for public intoxication. In medieval Europe, offenders were forced to wear a barrel as a form of public shaming. The hosts examine how this unusual penalty reflects changing attitudes toward alcohol over time.
