Alcohol - the Good, the Bad, the Alternative, brought to you by Professor David Nutt and Drug Science. Professor David Nutt, Doctor Christian Jessen and Adrian Chiles in a wide-ranging, frank and open conversation on the topic of alcohol – exploring such topics as their own relationship with alcohol, a ‘healthy’ amount of units a week, binge vs regular drinking, self-medication, health and social ‘benefits’ and harms, the hypocrisy of current regulation, David’s invention of a calorie free, non-toxic synthetic alcohol, and whether or not any of us would want to live in a world where no one drank. Dr Christian is an award-winning TV presenter and medical doctor. His main aim is to help raise medical awareness and simplify, demystify de-stigmatise and explain the sometimes complicated and inaccessible world of medicine to the public. Adrian Chiles is a radio & TV presenter. In his 2018 BBC documentary ‘Drinkers like me’ Adrian takes a long hard look at his own love of boozing.
