Just to clarify, what exactly do you mean by this? VCs or startups trying to lose money? For what purpose?

This is kind of crazy... I think I saw that same comment when it was posted. Added it to my to-read list and recently decided to get the audiobook and listen through it. About 90% through and I have to admit - it has given me a lot to think about.

My consumption is generally on the weekends, 4-5 drinks per outing with friends. I've gone out for drinks twice since then and couldn't bring myself to order more than one drink. There's a lot of reason behind her arguments against it and I never really realized just how much of the perceived "benefits" of it are simply placebo effects or misattributed to other factors entirely. I'm not sure what the extent of my behavioral change will be after but it's safe to say I'll never look at alcohol the same way.

For anyone else on the fence - read it! At the very least, entertain a different perspective on the pervasive drinking culture we find ourselves surrounded by.
