Ugh. You said you were over him, but his hoodie's stealing your rotation. It's time. Grab your phone, snap a few pics, and sell it on Depop, listed in minutes, with no selling fees. And just like that, a guy 500 miles away just paid full price for your closure. And right on cue, Nope. But I've got tonight's dinner paid for. Start selling on Depop, where taste recognizes taste. List now with no selling fees. Payment processing fees and boosting fees still apply. See website for details. Quick, choose a meal deal with McValue. The $5 McChicken meal deal, the $5 McDouble meal deal, or the new $6 Daily Double meal deal. Each with its own small fries, drink, and four-piece McNuggets. There's actually no rush. I'm just excited for McDonald's.

Todo el mundo ha estado en esta situación. Nos invitan a una fiesta, salimos con los amigos, nos tomamos unos tragos, la pasamos bien, nos pasamos de trago, la mañana siguiente nos arrepentimos, nos sentimos muy mal, nos prometemos a nosotros mismos que más nunca vamos a tomar, y ¿qué pasa unos días después? Estamos tomando otra vez. Why does that happen? And that's what this book answers. Why is something that is harmful to us, we keep consuming it? Is it because it has biological, psychological or social benefits? As perhaps alcohol is the origin of civilization. So let's start with this summary of the book Drunk. Arrancamos con otro episodio de Bibliotequeando. Como siempre, les habla su anfitrión, Ricardo Lugo, arroba Bibliotequeando en las redes.

Hoy les traigo el libro borracho, un libro muy nuevo, salió el año pasado en el 2021, si lo van a buscar en internet, búsquenlo en inglés, se llama Drunk, D-R-U-N-K, no está disponible en español todavía, es muy reciente, apenas cumplió un año el mes pasado.
But I thought it was an excellent book because all the books about alcohol talk about the history of alcohol in terms of how it was formed, for example, how whiskey was made, where it comes from, the process, what culture used it first. Those are examples of the typical alcohol book that you are going to get. This one is very different. This is based on archaeological, historical evidence of cognitive, psychological, psychopharmacological neuroscience, social psychology, literature, everything. The guy really analyzed all kinds of data that there is about alcohol to show us where that desire to get drunk comes from. This is the first book that really asks why we don't want to get drunk in the first place.
What is the problem that we are solving? It is not simply a drug that is used to distract itself. There are psychological benefits, there are biological benefits. And this book was the result of a very long investigation on basically what is the oldest indulgence of humanity, which is getting drunk. The author begins by answering the question of why we drink, what is the reason why we drink. And the answer from science to this question has always been that drinking alcohol is an evolutionary error. Evolutive errors in biology, in evolutionary psychology, are behaviors that we naturally perform, but by mistake. So they are things that have no biological value, but they happen biologically. A perfect example is masturbation.
They are your genes telling you, hey, I want to reproduce, I want to procreate. And you end up masturbating. Biologically, it had no kind of benefit. The goal was not achieved, but everyone does it. Another example is processed food. Processed food deceives you.
