Can We Really Trust Our Belief That We Drink Alcohol Because We Like The Taste?

There is a strange looking device in my room. It says to pour the water into ‘here’, and then somehow, the water heats up and drips out of ‘there.’ My choices: Pike Place Roast - A smooth blended Latin American beans with subtly rich flavours of cocoa and toasted nuts. Tazo’s Awake - English Breakfast - A breakfast-style black tea of malty boldness & bright flavour, invigorating any time of day. I choose the tea, not because I believe the narrative of the malty boldness and bright flavour, and I know it’s not going to invigorate me, but I choose it because people like us do things like this. People who grew up on a council estate in Reddish, Stockport in the 1970s/80s drank tea. It began as a yearning. As a child, you weren't trusted to drink tea because it was too hot. When you were, you felt terrific. You filled the cup with plenty of milk, emptied two, maybe three sugars into the cup, and voila. You were an adult. As you got older, you stopped having the sugar and the milk, for the same reasons you took them when you were a child. People like us do things like this. People like us don’t eat sugar because it fucks you up, as does cow’s milk. So you end up drinking black tea. A malty boldness & bright flavour? Don’t make me laugh. So, why am I drinking it? And that’s the topic of today’s podcast.
