Ep 274: Christopher Snowden on how moderate drinking is still good for you and why wine is NOT the new tobacco

Christopher Snowdon is the head of lifestyle economics at the Institute of Economic Affairs. He is a regular columnist for the Spectator Health blog, where his article on March 28, 2019 “The campaign to make alcohol ‘the new tobacco’” caught my eye.  In this show, Chris and I dig into the problems with new studies on wine and health that are biased and skewed. We talk about possible trajectories for Neo-temperance and the fact that despite their claims wine in moderation is still good for you!

Om Podcasten

A podcast for people who like wine but not the snobbery that goes with it. I talk about wine in a fun, straightforward, normal way to get you excited about it and help you drink better, more interesting stuff. About half the shows feature guests and are informal but educational discussions between me and a passionate wine friend –they aren't interviews. All guests are personal friends or friends of friends in wine so like any conversation between friends, we’ll talk back and forth, interrupt each other, laugh and have fun, debate tough questions, voice our opinions, and most of all, enjoy sharing our time together and with you! The Wine For Normal People book is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and many local booksellers. Back catalog available on Patreon.com/winefornormalpeople
