You might think the answer to that question is “opiates” or “parenting” or “operating heavy machinery” or “sobriety test,” but what we’re talking about here is a healthy lifestyle. Alcohol and A Healthy Lifestyle might make a cute couple for a one-night stand or even a week, but it’s not a sustainable longterm relationship. Don’t take our word for it. Just let your fingers walk across your keyboard or smart phone. Skip the alcohol studies funded by the impairment industry, and you’ll find plenty of science that says no amount of booze in any form whatsoever is good for you. Alcohol abuse, alcohol poisoning, alcohol addiction and alcoholism don’t have to be part of your lexicon for alcohol to be an issue. If you advocate living your best life and making healthy choices, you shouldn’t drink. Think “rotgut” not “aqua vitae.”

In this episode, we talk about Dudley Moore in 10, sad cockatoos, the choice of Sally Field for the role of Dirty Buddy in our imaginary film, COVID challenges, Cinemasochism (it’s a thing), Prince, the weird hotness of Nicholas Cage, and how Danielle Steele singlehandedly saved Barneys.
