The Alcohol & Addiction Podcast

Imagine arsonists launching a fire safety campaign. That’s exactly what it feels like when alcohol giants like Diageo, AB InBev, and Pernod Ricard team up with Meta, Uber Eats, and TikTok to lead a “responsible drinking” coalition. Sounds noble, right? But peel back the layers, and it’s nothing more than PR spin—designed to soften a deadly truth.   In today’s episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, I dismantle the myth of “responsible drinking,” expose the illusion of “responsible marketing,” and challenge you to see the alcohol economy for what it truly is: a tightly woven web of profit, manipulation, and social conditioning.   This is not about moderation. This is about honesty. And it starts with naming the Liquid Lie.
