  Speaker 1: All right, here on the woelo up network, we're going
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: to do a couple of episodes today. The first one's
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: going to be about dry January. Now, as you know,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: since May fourth, twenty twenty four, when I started feeling
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: immense pain after downing an ipa, all right, I have
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: stopped drinking completely. My Octoberfest is Octoberfest. My Dry January
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: is every month, so that's where I stay on it.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: But it's kind of interesting that it seemed like doctor
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Oz was endorsing alcohol when they released the dietary restrictions
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: this past week. Did you hear this?
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: So alcohol is a social lubricant that brings people together.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: In the best case scenario, I don't think you should
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: drink alcohol, but it does allow people an excuse to
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: bond and socialize, and there's probably nothing healthier. They're having
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: a good time with friends in a safe way. If
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: you look at the blue zones, for example, around the
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: world live the longest, alcohol is sometimes part of their diet. Again,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: small amounts, taken very judiciously and usually in a celebratory fashion.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: So there is alcohol on these dietary guidelines, but the
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: implication is don't have it for breakfast. There should be
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: something done in small amount with hopefully in some kind
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: of an event that may have alcohol added. But they
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: general move away from two glasses of men one glass
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: to wind. There was never really good data to support
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: that that quantity of alcohol consumption. That data was probably
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: primarily confused with broader data about social connectedness.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: All right, I want to hear this one more time.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: What did he say about alcohol being on the dietary guidelines.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: There is alcohol on these dietary guidelines.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: And there you go in dry January. Doctor memd Oz
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: is saying there is alcohol on the dietary guideline. New
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: federal guidelines announced by the Trump administration on Wednesday include
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: a dramatic change on alcohol consumption. The new guidelines, which
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: are updated every five years, provide language on alcohol moderation
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: rather than specific drink limits has been included in the past.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: The new dietary guidelines for Americans, according to ABC News,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: instructs Americans to limit alcoholic beverages, which is a change
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: from previous guides that said, hey, over limit twenty one
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: and over a limit consumption and two drinks. So basically
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: they're saying, up halfine moderation, have it as you can.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: And I just find this so fascinating that this administration
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: believes in sort of alcohol consumption because this is dry January,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and it's almost like they're putting a cool blanket or
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: whatever on the dry January idea, say yeah, go out
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and drink, it's all the dietary guidelines. Now, well, I've
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: learned my lesson and I've stopped. I mean, I went
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: to the Mean Fiddler last week, didn't have a drink,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: actually asked for coke, and you know what, I wasn't
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: embarrassed by it. That's the other thing is I feel
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: like there's this pressure to drink. I never really People
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: might disagree with me, but I never really did it
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: to be cool. I just whatever. But there is a
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: social pressure to drink. Once you remove that pressure from
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: your mind and you just enjoy your time out and
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: watch everybody else get drunk, that's the best way to
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: do it. If you want to be the sober one,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: go for it. If you want to extend dry January
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: into dry February, dry March, dry and dry March. I
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: was on Patrick say I'm actually gonna try non alcoholic Guinness.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I am determined to try that this year. I'm determined
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: to try that this year because I do like my goodness,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: but I like it not alcoholic. Now it'd be a
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: different story. But to come out in this month specifically
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: and pour cold water or I guess you would say
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: cold booze on dry January is fascinating to me. They
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: are putting alcohol in moderation on the dietary restrictions. There's
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: no distinction between alcohol guidance for men and women, though
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: scientific research has shown the sexes metabolized alcohol differently, and
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: of course for me, I was like eighty five eighty
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: six pounds, so it would be very different for me.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: But having learned my lesson in May of twenty twenty four,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: it's been dry every day and I'm proud of that.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: And I just find it fascinating that under rfk's watch,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: under Doctor Oz's watch, there is justification for alcohol. And
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I agree with it. I understand it. It's
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: a social lubricant, which is a very weird thing to say.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: But is it healthy for the FDA to come out
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: with these guidelines. I don't know. I feel like that's
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: a stretch. I feel like we're gonna do dry January
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: we should promote dry January, not say well, alcohol is this,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: alcohol is that?
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: So?
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know about this move, but from personal experience,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: even before, like junior year, senior year in college, I
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: was enjoying watching anybody else get hammered. Well, I was sober,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: and I've gone back to that. Now I've been forced
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: to go back to it, but I'm glad I did
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: because I think it's more fun to watch everybody else
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: get wrecked than you. And maybe that sounds harsh, but
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: it is kind of funny and you hope they will okay.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: But I think we have to eliminate the social pressures
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: of drinking and admit that that can lead alcoholism instead
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: of calling it a social lubricant, Doctor Oz, dry January.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Should we dry every day? If you want to be
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: here for a long long time. Call me a prude,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: but a lot of you know me, and I've had
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: some rough nights and I don't regret it. But I'm
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: glad that i had that wake up call in twenty
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: twenty four because now I'm able to live life, enjoy life,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and watch life unfold instead of feel that pressure to
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: go back into consumption. We have to have one leg
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: up over alcohol. And if you can do that in moderation,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: good for you. But if you can't and you came
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: into the pressure, don't stay sober. I know the line.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I'd stay sober and get pulled over, but literally stay
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: sober and just enjoy life and not just make dry January,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: dridge Anuary, make it dry every day. I've done that,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: and I feel so much better for it. Here on
