  • Summary

  • “The Right to Drink” is a limited-run narrative podcast series about drinking and everything that gets in the way. Prohibition may have been 100 years ago, but some of the craziest laws on the books still get in the way of Americans enjoying the right to produce, consume, and sell the booziest beverages. Host, expert and author Jarrett Dieterle will introduce you to brewers, distillers, and bartenders who will help answer questions like: Why does your cocktail cost so much? Why do brewers get in trouble for putting curse words on beer bottles? And why do so many states ban happy hour? "The Right to Drink" was a finalist for the Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Award for Best Broadcast, Podcast, or Online Video Series. It is brought to you by the R Street Institute and DrinksReform.org.

    The Surprising History of Moonshine
    Nov 10 2020
    There’s a funny thing about alcohol. Every time the government makes it hard to get, the greater the lengths humans go to get it. Throughout human history we’ve found mind-bendingly creative ways to obtain our precious hooch, and the higher the government barriers the larger the black market. But moonshining isn’t just an American Prohibition era story, it’s a modern day--and global--phenomenon. So grab your jug and listen along as we compare moonshine myths and lore with modern day reality.

    Murdering Fun: The War on Happy Hour
    Oct 13 2020
    What happens when happy hour is illegal? You cry. That’s what. Who doesn’t love a drink discount when unwinding from another day at the office? Massachusetts doesn’t. And neither does North Carolina, or New Mexico, or Virginia, or …. the list goes on. Because if there’s anything the government hates more than fun, it’s people having fun at a discount. So pour a drink and brace yourself for outrage.
