Is It Time To Give Up Drinking? & Looking Back On Jan 6th

We're back, and we've got a lot to cover! From Jimmy Carter's death, to Ann Telnaes, cartoonist for The Washington Post, resigning and what it means for the paper that's been plagued by layoffs. MAIN STORY 12:30 Last week, the Department of Health and Human Services issued a new advisory, showing a direct link between alcohol consumption and increased cancer risk. Sami & V talk about why this information wasn't made public, how the misconceptions that some alcohol was "healthy" got started, and if they would have done anything differently if alcohol had been marketed the same way cigarettes were. 30:40 We're recording this episode on January 6th, and we can't help but reflect on what this day means (or used to.) Ending the episode, we talk about what's giving us joy; mainly the Buffalo Bills, Demi Moore's Golden Globe win/speech. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
