Summary

Journalist Tim Requarth talks to Mark about the French Paradox and the "J-shaped" relationship between alcohol consumption and health, the inconvenience of alcohol being a little good for you, the less drinking trend and where it's headed (what will alcohol consumption look like in 2080?), and Mark's brushes with sobriety.
