It may turn out that
The reason that there are so many signs of health decline is because of how accepted alcohol has become.
And we may have this major reckoning where we actually have to confront this decision.
I mean, it would be amazing if we found ways to socialize without alcohol, especially because if alcohol gets phased out and the only solution is it's more comfortable to socialize virtually.
Oh, so much worse.
Yeah, I think so.
I mean, and also if the only reason we're drinking is because it blunts anxiety and it makes it easier to be around others, maybe there are other naturally occurring compounds that reduce anxiety and don't have the toxic effects.
Of course, there are many things out there that do this.
Some are benzodiazepines, like, you know, drugs.
Others may be ashwagandha or supplements or things like that.
Like maybe we'll find a new way through that that is healthier and allows us to maintain those relationships.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
I think if you had a alcohol scientist on the show, they would probably disagree with me.
But from all the things I've seen, all the incredible amount of science that I've read, socializing is like right there at the top with one of the most important and critical pieces of health.
There's a few pieces to this.
One is that you're missing out on interaction.
There's so many things in life that we have replaced interactions with screens.
You know, like there's a self-checkout line at the grocery store.
You can get a Waymo and there's no taxi driver, right?
