In some cases, it's definitely true that if you're focused on the connection to those things, then something like cannabis is probably better.
What if the beverage you enjoy at social gatherings has a history that dates back to 10,000 BC? In this eye-opening episode of 'Challenging Pathos', Glenn Marshall dives deep into the complex relationship humans have with alcohol. From ancient Stone Age jugs to its sacred role in religious rituals, alcohol has been both a blessing and a curse throughout history.
The episode explores how alcohol has been used for medicinal purposes, such as in the Hebrew Bible, and its modern-day sacramental use in the Catholic Church. However, it doesn't shy away from discussing the darker side of alcohol consumption, including its link to violence and crime. With 40% of violent crimes and 50% of sexual assaults involving alcohol, the conversation is both timely and crucial. The episode also touches on Alcoholics Anonymous and its role in shaping modern addiction treatment.
If you've ever wondered about the cultural and societal impacts of alcohol, this episode offers a nuanced look that balances historical reverence with modern-day concerns. Perfect for anyone interested in the multifaceted roles alcohol plays in our lives.
