Why Drinkers Can’t Stand Non-Drinkers - Andrew Huberman

coming back to the discussion about alcohol which is one that you tried to interject with Berton I think your episode that you released last year yeah back end of last summer yeah I think that really opened a lot of people's eyes to some of the risks of alcohol I've been kind of flying the flag of it

as a tool for productivity for quite a while to avoid alcohol yeah that I think when you entirely or or do do you drink at all uh I've brought it back into my life now but I did six months sober three times and then thousand days without alcohol too um but yeah I'm

seeing right now a huge push back against unseen unintentional drinking and I think that yeah your episode last year opened a lot of people's eyes to it thanks I mean again I I don't tell people what to do I give them the facts so they can make the best decisions for them I mean it's very

clear that unless you're an alcoholic and provided you're an adult that you know two drinks per week maximum um is about the upper threshold Beyond which you're going to start getting some health that's called that's called a warm-up to a warm-up in England yeah so I you know I've never been a big

drinker I don't drink um I I'm lucky that it's not something that's that's a strong draw for me you know I have friends that are recovered alcoholics um and you know their lives are so much better as a function of being sober but for non-alcoholics I mean I think everyone should just know the uh the

health risks especially women where the risks for breast cancer and other types of cancers are are elevated so very much and what was interesting to me about the response to that episode is that I think many people took it my the impression I got was that many people took it as permission to finally stop drinking or
