250: Transportation Sexual Assault (TSA)

Neo-Prohibitionism, Mythbusters, Alcohol Health Claims

The hosts identify a trend of "neo-prohibitionism" in media, citing a *Mythbusters* episode that compared tired driving to low-level alcohol consumption. They also debunk a study from Australia claiming that drinking four beers a day can lead to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The study is criticized for using vague language like "might" and "could" while ignoring other factors like smoking.
