About this listen

Alcohol: How Booze Built the World is a deep dive into the liquid that shaped civilization—and occasionally ruined your weekend.

From ancient mead and divine wine to frat party keg stands and $300 celebrity tequilas, this book uncorks the full story of alcohol: what it is, how it works, and why humans keep coming back for another round.

It’s not an intervention. It’s a mirror.

Whether you drink nightly, socially, occasionally, or not at all, Alcohol is a clear-eyed, unfiltered look at the world’s favorite substance—and the rituals, memories, mistakes, and meanings we’ve poured into it.
