The shocking fact is that alcohol is responsible for around three times more deaths globally than any other drug combined, save for tobacco. However, many of us still consume it. So how have we reached this point, why is alcohol consumption still so deeply ingrained in human culture and what can we do to limit the harms to health caused by alcohol?
In this episode we speak to Professor David Nutt about the history of alcohol use and the many and varied effects it has on our health, lives and wellbeing.
He tells us exactly what alcohol does to our bodies and brains, why some of us find it so difficult to stop drinking once we’ve started, and why education is vital if we are to limit the damage alcohol causes to public health.
