Reevaluating Our Relationship with Alcohol
Our relationship with alcohol is fraught, and with mounting evidence of its harms, some people are exploring sobriety.
Scholars suggest looking to ancient civilizations for a reset, as their drinking customs were often social and ritualized, with less potent brews.
In the past, people tended to drink in regulated environments, with relatively weak spirits, as depicted in ancient Greek vessels used for mixing water and wine during symposia.
“Everyone loved that story,” says Anya Topiwala, a psychiatric researcher at the University of Oxford, referring to the outdated notion that a drink or two a day was good for health.
However, recent findings have linked even moderate drinking, a few times a week, to numerous health problems, particularly cancer.
