NEW OXFORD PODCAST ALERT! Drunk On History is a podcast that explores humanity’s complex relationship with alcohol — from ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia to Rome, Mesoamerica, India, China, and beyond. Together with experts, We dive into how ancient civilizations used, abused, and understood alcohol. How did the ancients manage the age-old question of “How much is too much?” What laws or moral codes tried to curb excess? What can warnings on drinking cups or ancient myths about intoxication tell us about moderation and society? Pour yourself a glass and join host, Lauren Dogaer, on a journey through time!
