Crucial science investigation over here! While we were making this ep, I learned that there's very little investigation on my pet hangover cure: exercise! (Obv a little tough if you're REALLY hungover ...)

We've been told that a bit of booze is fine — maaaybe even healthy for us. But some recent guidelines out of Canada made us spit out our Molson. We're now hearing we should drink way less ... and maybe cut booze entirely. Today, we look at what's changed. open.spotify.com/episode/4KdKrQ
