In 1791, a proud and hearty band of rabble-rousers in western Pennsylvania protested the first tax ever to be levied on a domestic product by America's new federal government—a tax on the sale of whiskey. Today, the Whiskey Rebellion is primarily remembered as one of the country's first populist uprisings—and one that presaged many future clashes between the American heartland and government elites. However, debates over whether Alexander Hamilton's whiskey tax was a prudent revenue-raising scheme or an egregious instance of governmental overreach often overlook what was not in dispute during ...

This week's guest is Andy Mills, the co-creator of Reflector, a new documentary podcast. Reflector's early episodes delve into controversial treatments for alcoholism and the free speech implications of the trial of rapper Young Thug, whose lyrics are being used by prosecutors to build a RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) case.

A study on rats found that binge-like drinking of alcohol mixed with energy drinks during adolescence produced changes in the hippocampus region of the brain that were still detectable when the rats reached adulthood. These changes indicated a temporary boost in neural function while the rats were young, followed by a long-term reduction in the ability of the hippocampus to create new connections (synaptic plasticity) in adulthood. The study was published in Neuropharmacology. When they reach adulthood, many young people start drinking alcohol. In many cases, they drink a large amount of alcoh...

El aumento de la inversión y los beneficios del cambio climático han contribuido a impulsar la industria vinícola británica, pero ¿puede competir con las grandes bestias europeas? Un clima favorable -quizá la única ventaja del cambio climático-, cervezas inglesas premiadas y dinero en efectivo de inversores urbanitas empedernidos se han combinado para hacer de ésta una época dorada para los productores de vino británicos. Los datos de la asociación del sector GBWine sugieren que el número de hectáreas dedicadas a la producción de vino en el Reino Unido se ha duplicado en la última década hasta...

A recent study conducted by researchers at Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, and published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research, reveals compelling evidence that alcohol dependence accelerates biological aging. By examining various epigenetic markers, the researchers found that individuals with alcohol dependence showed accelerated aging processes, which decelerated after a three-week treatment program. Alcohol dependence is a chronic condition characterized by an inability to control alcohol consumption despite its negative impact on health and daily life. This condition not only...
