Join travel writer Daniel Stables and professional boozehound Charlie Duckworth on a journey through the worlds of food, alcohol, and world culture, examining the strange things we do in our search for meaning through food and drink.
In Buddhist and Hindu lore, hungry ghosts are lost souls who stalk the earth seeking in vain to sate their swollen appetites. In the wheel of death and rebirth, the hungry ghosts occupy a lower realm than humans. We think that flatters us.
We are all hungry ghosts. These are the lengths that we go to.

Restless ghouls, pissed as newts; lost souls, drowning in a fishbowl. And that’s just your hosts.
The boys discuss a subject close to their hearts this week: the greatest boozers of all time. From Alexander the Great’s fatal drinking contests to Ernest Hemingway liberating the bar of the Ritz Hotel in Paris, history is littered with problem drinkers – and don’t even get us started on Hunter S. Thompson.
