The Alcohol Show: Mezcal vs. Red Wine, Resveratrol, Biodynamic vs. Organic, Sulfates, Portion Control and More With Kristin Kirkpatrick, RD

Many of us had that “occasional” cocktail with a little more frequency during the past year. There is no doubt that alcohol is fun, but is it healthy? It's unlikely that alcohol carries many tangible health benefits, but as with most things, the dose makes the poison. Is a nightly glass of wine with dinner truly deleterious to health, or a harmless vice? Does drinking red wine carry any health benefits? What about additives in wine? Is Mezcal the healthiest alcohol on the planet when consumed in moderation? In this episode of the podcast, we discuss all things social drinking. We dive into topics ranging from our favorite drinks, to the best and most sustainable cultivation methods, to the potential pitfalls of alcohol as a staple in your diet. Cheers, and if you're going to drink, please do so responsibly!
