Ep 100: Lee Monks on Alcohol Lies, Marketing & Propaganda

Lee Monks is a writer from Derbyshire, in the UK, and a member of the Strive Community Forum. Lee comes from an extended family to whom drinking is like breathing. He came on the show to talk about the disturbing way that the normality of consuming a potent poison is marketing, in order to keep people like himself an addict. As Lee continues to lead a sober life, he notices the ease by which millions are marshalled by lies and propaganda that suggest drinking is nothing but fun, is normal, is the English way of life, is what all the cool kids are doing at a non-existent 24/7 party, and that to not drink is in some way a betrayal of an admirable national characteristic.
