Revisiting the Wine and Health Debacle -- Re-release of Ep 274: Christopher Snowdon

Wine for Normal People

As a follow up to Felicity Carter's show last week, in which we mentioned referenced the work of Christopher Snowdon often, I am re-releasing Episode 274 to give another perspective. This was originally released April 29, 2019. We raised all sorts of red flags in this show and Christopher has been consistent on his blog about how moderate drinking is still good for you and why wine is NOT the new tobacco...This is a great supplement and another viewpoint on this subject and dovetails perfectly with last week's show.

The show notes are simple this week: his two articles --

• “The campaign to make alcohol ‘the new tobacco’” March 28, 2019 (Scroll down to see the article on this page)
• "A glass of wine won't shorten your life -- moderate drinking is still good for you" April 17, 2018

More on Chris:

Snowdon is author of five books: 'Polemics' (2020) 'Killjoys' (2017), 'Selfishness, Greed and Capitalism' (2015), 'The Art of Suppression' (2011), 'The Spirit Level Delusion' (2010) and 'Velvet Glove, Iron Fist' (2009). He has also written more than a dozen reports for the Institute of Economic Affairs including ‘Drinking, Fast and Slow’, ‘and ‘Closing Time: Who’s killing the British pub?’. He blogs at The Snowdon Substack
