Pt 1: The Truth About Why We Drink Alcohol | Professor Charles Knowles

Charles Knowles is Professor of Surgery at Queen Mary University of London, and a recovering alcoholic who has written about his experience with addiction in his new book ‘Why We Drink Too Much: The Hidden Science of Just One More’.


In part one, Charles joins Dr Alex George to discuss why some of us can drink more than others, why humans have drank alcohol throughout history and whether it is actually possible to ever have ‘just one more’...
