Why Does One Drink Ruin Tomorrow? with Paul Lagerstedt

In this episode of Blether with Barberra, Brian is joined again by Paul Lagerstedt for a conversation about drinking culture, alcohol-related discomfort, moderation, intention and why different drinks can affect people in different ways.Paul challenges the common idea that feeling rough after drinking is always simply about dehydration, and explains why he became interested in what is actually inside alcoholic drinks — including fermentation by-products and trace compounds such as histamines, sulphites, tannins and acetaldehyde.Brian and Paul also explore conscious drinking versus habitual drinking, the culture of accepting discomfort as “the price you pay”, and why pausing before the first sip may change the ritual around alcohol.Listener resource discussed in this episode:[INSERT YOUR PERSONALISED ALKAA AFFILIATE LINK]Get 10% discount using the link above.Affiliate disclosure: Brian may earn a commission if listeners buy through this link, at no extra cost to them.ALKAA is a patented, in-glass sachet designed to reduce trace compounds in alcoholic beverages before you drink them.
