Summary
You may have heard of the term a 'Human's Primal Needs'.
If you are anything like Hame and Vic - you've heard it, stored it but never did any research into it and don't truly know what it means.
(Full transparency Vic thought it had something do with dogs and Hame was convinced his nappy bin was a primal need.)
Well, save yourself the research and give this episode a listen.
You might be surprised to hear of the role that alcohol plays in satisfying some of our deepest needs.
This short-term trick it plays on us is what makes giving up alcohol so difficult for so many.
