Vices: Is there a safe limit of alcohol you can drink?

  • Summary

  • For a lot of people, alcohol is associated with partying, celebrating and an all-round good time.

    But does this social lubricant have its downsides? Is there any truth to the idea that a little bit of alcohol is actually good for you? Or is there no safe limit at all?

    In this episode, Cosmos journalist Petra Stock pops open the bottle to take a swig of the science of alcohol.

    She is joined by Dr Michael Livingston, Dr Liz Temple, Dr Nicole Lee and Dr Sarah Callinan.

    Together, they get drunk on knowledge about what alcohol is and how it affects our bodies and minds.

    This episode was produced by Evrim Yazgin and edited by Andrew Wyrill. Theme music by Will Berryman.
