Booze and death: All alcohol has its origin in fermentation, which is a process of decay. Also, the main word for distilled liquor in western culture is “water of life” = “uisge beatha” “aquavit” “eau de vie” So alcohol is in its way already a fight against death, by transforming decay and rotting into new life and joy.
Enjoyed this one as much as the last 2 and the extended length is a plus.
Might be worth looking into a “link dump” to the drinks/cocktails you are enjoying (plus some other stuff you discuss). I’ve seen it on other podcasts and it’s handy for keeping up with conversations.
MDM podcast never fails to mention Bukowski…lets see how long they can keep the streak going!
Can I say what relief to get a person that really knows what they’re preaching about on the web. So many people misunderstand alcohol.
Favorite podcast, wish they’d start doing more.
