The video version of my chat with Laura is a great opportunity to count the number of times I pour for myself, which really ought to explain the end of the show

grant o brien i’m here to learn but also to be convinced that not all alcohol tastes nasty by default

What Have You Been Drinking?

It does taste nasty! Cocktails exist to cover up its nastiness. Without that nastiness just think all of the wonderful recipies the world would miss out on. Wow. Profound in a way, if you ask me...

What I struggle with is that the bitterness is what tastes foul in alcohol! And yet that’s what you seem to enjoy the most. What distinguishes the bitter of alcohol from good bitter?

What Have You Been Drinking?

When I think of pleasant bitterness, I think of plant-y things. Herbs and coffee and grapefruit and what have you. Alcohol has that astringent taste, which is great sometimes! But it's not always what I'm after, and I think that's generally what people are reacting to when they don't like the taste of alcohol. It's more of a sensation than a flavor.

did not think i'd be getting second hand therapy when i subscribed to a drinking podcast! i should go respond to that guy i've been avoiding for 3 weeks...

Her thoughts on the demoralization that happens by being treated so poorly in the service industry is so valid; When im not teaching, I work at goodwill and it’s wild how the public treats me and my coworkers; You learn and grow definitely in a weird way that takes support

Also its amazing that Laura spoke up, I commend her

Dang, the quote is attributed to Oscar Wilde. But, it is believed to be apocryphal.

I am very interested in checking out her podcast and the sexual awareness website, can you post it again. Super interesting and positive chat. Would someone please post the link again? I think many people want that Sunday morning feeling. Best wishes to all. I should fact check that quote, but, I think Henry Kissinger said that about power and sex. But, I might have made that up.
