The Liz Moody Podcast · Stanford Neuroscientist: THIS Is The Secret To Living Longer (It's Not Diet Or Exercise) · 10 Jun 2026 podcast

I think that's fascinating.

And maybe alcohol is the only thing keeping us together.

I think if we compare the extremes, the detriment of isolation versus the detriment of alcohol consumption, my belief is that isolation is worse.

And if the only way a person can connect is by drinking, I'll take that risk.

But there's a middle ground.

Ideally, no one is completely isolated.

Ideally, no one is drinking huge amounts.

But I think for young people, it is incredibly important to have social experience for so many reasons.

But our culture is the way it is.

And people interact in the formats that they do.

And I think everyone should try to find the interactions that suits them and is comfortable for them.

But I think that at the end of the day, living life and learning through uncomfortable experiences and even sometimes negative social interactions, if everyone took my book to heart and avoided every single negative interaction they could...

I actually don't think that would be perfect, right?

Sometimes you need conflict.

Sometimes those moments offer skill set development.

You can learn to set boundaries.

You can learn to have difficult conversations.

And if you can successfully work through it, then you have this amazing euphoric experience of resolution.

What if it wasn't alcohol?

What if the drug that everyone had accepted was cocaine or something?
