Inquiry: Edward Slingerland

Inquiry ➞

If drinking alcohol is supposed to be bad for you, how come most cultures around the world do it on a regular basis? Is there an evolutionary reason why we drink? Tonight on Inquiry we talk with Edward Slingerland. He is the Distinguished University Scholar and Professor of Philosophy at the University of British Columbia. His new book is Drunk: How We Sipped, Danced, and Stumbled Our Way to Civilization.
