Why is alcohol treated so differently from other drugs in society?

They dive into the normalization of alcohol consumption, its historical roots, and how it’s often used as a crutch to get through tough times. Along the way, they share their own experiences and observations, making the conversation both relatable and eye-opening.
But it's not all serious talk. Graham gets a bit antsy about the latest tech updates, and Martin brings up the quirky topic of 'Tree of the Year'.

Their banter extends to early Christmas promotions, the persistence of vegetables, and even a fun music quiz.
