"Alcohol is a drug – pure and simple. Just because it’s taxed instead of trafficked doesn’t make it safe."
In this eye-opening episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, host Lee Davy dives into a topic that might ruffle a few feathers – alcohol as a drug. While society often glosses over this truth, Lee argues that alcohol is not only a drug but perhaps the most insidious one, due to its ubiquity and social acceptance.
He paints a vivid picture of how alcohol sneaks into our lives, handed down by family rather than shady dealers, and yet wreaks havoc on health, relationships, and future generations. Lee doesn't shy away from the hard facts, pointing out that alcohol causes more deaths than many illegal drugs combined. Despite this, it's still passed around at celebrations like a gift. With his usual candid style, Lee encourages listeners to question societal norms and rethink their perceptions of alcohol.
He challenges the cultural blind spot that allows alcohol to escape scrutiny during events like the International Day Against Drug Abuse. Drawing from personal experiences and societal observations, Lee passionately urges listeners to call out the 'Liquid Lie' – the belief that alcohol is harmless because it's legal and socially accepted. Through engaging anecdotes and bold statements, he makes a compelling case for treating alcohol as the dangerous substance it truly is.
If you're looking to shift your perspective on alcohol and understand why it's crucial to name and shame this so-called 'normal' substance, Lee's podcast offers an engaging and thought-provoking listen. Ready to confront the Liquid Lie? Tune in to hear more.
