0:39.4	Hey, this is Anna Grayson. Welcome to this Naked Mind podcast. I am answering readers' questions,
0:43.9	and today I have a question, which is Annie, I've heard it said a million times that red wine

1:38.6	up to 10,000 times more than alcohol studies that are saying that alcohol is harmful.
1:47.2	And of course it makes sense because we share things that are congruent with our pre-existing

1:58.7	relate well, they'll think that we are funny or cool or smart or something else, and we tend not
2:06.2	to share things that are going to make other people upset. And so it makes sense, but what happens
