About this episode

Hannah Goldfield discusses the concept of intentional drinking and its implications in today's society.

New Yorker writer Hannah Goldfield talks to Kate and Mark about "intentional drinking"; how, right now, it feels like everyone is taking a stance on where we land on the drinking spectrum; how bars and restaurants are making drinking (and not drinking) easier to navigate; and mini cocktails.  Read Hannah's recent piece, "The Age of 'Intentional' Drinking":  https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2026/05/25/the-age-of-intentional-drinking Subscribe to Food with Mark Bittman on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you like to listen, and please help us grow by leaving us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts.
