Alongside courtroom drama, Moren shifted gears to discuss the evolving narrative surrounding alcohol consumption in society. Recent public health messaging suggests that no level of alcohol consumption is deemed safe, which has raised eyebrows and skepticism among some experts and the masses alike.
Dr. Ken Mukimal, an esteemed physician associated with Harvard Medical School, and Professor Edward Slingerland, author of Drunk: How We Sipped, Danced, and Stumbled Our Way to Civilization, joined Moren to dissect these developments critically. They argued that while moderate consumption is often scorned, many studies have shown that limited drinking does not significantly heighten the risk of health issues and even carries potential benefits.
