#186: Drinking - The Risks and Benefits

We have all probably heard countless videos preaching to us that drinking is the worst possible thing anyone can do, and there is nothing better than getting sober. We have ALSO heard countless videos explaining why drinking is great for you, and something we should all do! As with anything, the truth probably lies in the middle. One thing is for certain, though - there are some practical benefits that we might throw away if we drink too much, or not at all.

In this episode, Chris walks through a practical discussion about the benefits and the detriments of drinking alcohol, wrapping up with a few studies about how much drinking is necessary to "increase risk", and how drinking affects us later in life. Finally, he gives his personal philosophy on drinking through the lens of a devout Christian.

As stated in this episode, please always drink responsibly. If you have found yourself abusing alcohol, please seek help.
