Arsenic Culture

Sylvester Graham didn’t invent graham crackers for s’mores… he invented them to stop people from sinning.

In today’s episode, we dive into the bizarre, buttoned-up world of Sylvester Graham — the 1800s reformer who believed bland food could cure alcohol abuse, immoral thoughts, and basically all human joy.

Crackers, temperance, sex panic, and America’s long history of telling people what they’re allowed to enjoy...it’s all connected.

Watch Sylvester Graham: Curing Sin With Crackers Since 1794 | Ep. 159. Episode is Live NOW!

**Episode releases tomorrow (Wednesday) at 10am EST**

Is Sazerac Full Proof Rye starting to step on Thomas H. Handy’s turf?

In this episode, we line up three versions of Sazerac Rye. 90 proof, 100 proof, and Full Proof, and taste them side by side. We break down spice, balance, drinkability, and whether the new Full Proof release is actually worth chasing.

If you’re trying to figure out which Sazerac Rye belongs on your shelf, this one’s for you.

We drank every kind of eggnog so you don’t have to. Classic, store-bought, specialty… and then we took a hard left into coquito.
Dairy was questioned. Life choices were reconsidered.

New episode drops tomorrow (at 10am EST). 🥛🥃

Tomorrow… we do the unthinkable.
We’re reviewing barrel-aged Malört. Yes, that’s a real thing. Yes, we regret it already.

Does time in oak make Malört better… or just give it more time to plot against humanity?
Episode drops tomorrow. Pray for us.

Some traumatized us.
