Welcome to Untap the Extra Mile.

I'm Spencer Matthews.

I'm Olly Patrick.

Indeed.

Indeed you are.

And today's topic is alcohol.

It's one that people are increasingly aware of.

I think with the rise of more easily accessible information and data, I think people are already making better decisions around alcohol.

I mean, Gen Z just drink an awful lot less than certainly millennials and older people.

This is not really a trend.

It's a movement now away from alcohol.

And before people think that we're just going to drone on about how bad alcohol is, we both enjoy a drink from time to time.

And we're by no means anti-alcohol, but thought it would be interesting to dig into alcohol and the effects that it has on the brain and body.

I think...

at a surface level, we're all aware that drinking alcohol to excess is bad.

Yeah.

You know, it feels bad.

Yes.

And, you know, everyone, or at least most people listening, know what it feels like to be hungover.

And, you know, abusing anything, to be honest, is not to be recommended.
