The World's Greatest Drunk Foods
The spice bag was invented around 2006 as a staff meal at a Dublin takeaway. Poutine lives or dies on cheese curds less than a day old. Chimaek became a word during the 2002 World Cup. These aren't ancient traditions — they're recent inventions that got old fast, because a generation grew up ordering them at two in the morning. This episode tours the world's greatest drunk foods country by country, then asks what's actually happening in the brain: why alcohol trips the hypothalamus's starvation alarm, why drinkers reach for salt and pizza instead of water, and whether a stoned craving is even the same craving as a drunk one. The research on THC, it turns out, is stranger than expected.
