Season 4, Ep. 41: Learning How to Drink (Wine) Like an Adult w. Kayla Mensah

Drinking — it's something we love to do, and at times a hallmark, nay, a right of passage for adulthood. So, why does it seem like a lot of us are doing wrong? Well, because we are. In this episode of "Adult-ish," host Afiya A. sits down with Kayla Mensah, a sommelier, to discuss the science behind drinking wine, finding the stuff you like, and some of the stereotypes that have come with drinking liquor. The duo go down a rabbit hole talking about drinks that were once outlawed for certain groups (looking at you, Coke!), and how the beverage industry is playing favorites to get sales out of us. Oh yeah — even drinks are racialized. Tune in for a pretty interesting conversation.
