As we continue to see, people who are less fortunate decline.
Did the pandemic really turn us all into alcoholics? In this episode of the LPP Podcast, Dr. Stanton Peele and Zach Rhoads tackle the sensational headlines and dissect the real story behind pandemic drinking habits. They start by debunking the myth that there’s been a massive spike in alcohol consumption since COVID-19 hit. Instead, they argue that issues with alcohol and drugs have been around long before the pandemic, and the virus isn't solely to blame for addiction problems.
Intrigued yet? The duo also dives into the lives of the white working class, exploring how economic decline and societal pressures contribute to substance abuse. They challenge the disease model of addiction, suggesting it may do more harm than good, especially for those who need help the most. The conversation gets even more interesting when they critique President Biden's mixed responses to these issues. Packed with thought-provoking discussions and a dash of humor, this episode is both enlightening and engaging.
Whether you're curious about the pandemic's impact on drinking or interested in broader addiction theories, this episode offers valuable insights.
