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!
