DISCLAIMER: This podcast is not meant to promote or encourage alcohol consumption. The purpose of this conversation is education, awareness, and harm reduction. Alcohol is discussed from a health, lifestyle, cultural, and scientific lens to help people make informed and mindful choices. About this Podcast: In this honest and eye-opening podcast of Gunjan Talks, we sit down with MixItUpWithMendi, one of India’s fastest-growing cocktail creators, who is redefining how India understands alcohol. Known for simplifying cocktails using everyday Indian ingredients, Mendi breaks the myth that cocktails are only for fancy bars or expensive spirits. But this podcast goes far beyond drinks. We talk about responsible drinking, peer pressure, hangovers, mixing alcohol, calories, chakna choices, wine basics, and why “expensive” alcohol isn’t necessarily safer. The goal is simple: drink smarter, not more. This is not a pro-alcohol or anti-alcohol podcast. It’s a practical guide to building a healthier, more mindful relationship with alcohol, for individuals, couples, families, and even workplaces. If you drink, or simply want to understand alcohol better, this podcast is for you.
