Show Notes
Adam, Joanna, and Zach address the recent changes to America's dietary guidelines as issued by the Department of Health, in particular the removal of any particular limit on the number of alcoholic beverages considered safe. While the drinks industry is clearly viewing this a big win, and perhaps it is when compared to the much more anti-alcohol language that some feared would be used, will this actually halt the industry's overall slump? Do all that many people actually use these guidelines as, well, guidelines?
