How to Educate Your Brain With Alcohol | Sune Urth | TEDxKEA
Your likes and dislikes are often based on a single experience and sticking to those assumptions will hinder your further development. Transferring that philosophy to how we treat alcohol, Sune Urth has developed a theory he calls ”The Tequila Conundrum”. He argues that personal aversions and dislikes are often based solely on irrational fears caused by certain memories. Those memories are connected with certain tastes, causing the mind to bring them back when, for example, drinking tequila.
Daring to confront these preferences helps us evolve our taste perception and opens up a new world of sensory experiences.
Sune Urth is one of Scandinavia’s finest bartenders and alcohol connoisseurs. Urth runs the bar at No. 2, a high-end restaurant in Copenhagen, Denmark. Under the name ”Hr. Urth” (Mr. Urth) he also runs his own distillery, travels Norway to teach the theories behind brewing, and is publishing books such as Cocktails for Home Brewers, which was released last year. What ties these activities together is the most sold but also the most misunderstood alcohol in Denmark: the akvavit.

Hmm I wonder if your a drinker or not?? Bias maybe? Alcohol has bad effects therefore its pointless. Not a smart choice.

Please watch "How I overcame alcoholism | Claudia Christian". It saved my life.
This is why I do not drink or go to pubs or bars, so I don't get stuck listening to drivel like this.

so you come to KZread instead.
He speaks as if he had a few drinks before giving this Ted talk.
Nice speech. This is synesthesia taken to another level. Our brain works like that: associating smells, tastes, feels, sounds, etc. And it may be very hard to overcome that "this is the song that reminds me of her", or "the taste that makes me think of this time I passed out drunk", etc. The only way to overcome this is the same as every hurdle in life: time and efforts.
i didnt understand anything this guy said but i get that he is trying to make the point of drinking responsibly and that our brains are just complex machines, i get it
One day at a time
WHY ARE WE NOT TALKING ABOUT GIVING UP ALCOHOL?
he sounds like stuey from family guy

DAYUMN. Yes.
yes sir sune I like and enjoyed your self there thank you :-)
This is a good and funny talk, but I've educated my brain to just leave the stuff well alone now. I had some excellent and fantastic times on the stuff thats for sure and I really liked pub crawls and drinking through the night but unfortunately it really didn't like me. In actual fact, if I hadn't been drinking I would never have met my wife of 27 years. So if you can take it and not lose control too much then well done you are one of the lucky ones. I do feel quite sorry for the ladies because they tend to have much smaller livers and get trollied that much quicker. Perhaps this was my problem, my feminine side was stronger than my male side. So, whatever your poison, if you are going out on the razz take it easy and try to have a meal first. One more tip, to lessen the dreaded hangover try to drink a glass of water (if you can remember) between each alcoholic drink because alcohol dehydrates your brain which is why some get the pain.
No comments?!
I don’t drink anymore because drink was trying to kill me with my assistance of course ...
This guys full of "Cool stories bro". All i understood was "Saber tooth tigers".

3 MINS AND 55 SECONDS SOUNDS LIKE A PEACEFUL, FRIENDLY AND A NON JUDGMENTAL PLACE. CAN I GET THIS FROM CRACK AS WELL? EITHER WAY, PLEASE GIVE ME A LIFE. I PROMISE TO WORK HARD FOR IT. WHATEVER IT TAKES. IN A DEVELOPED WORLD.

Well, the mark of every fairly unexperienced and/or stupid presenter: Not resolving your speech. But shit, especially the 4:30 warcry was funny. Though I prefer the 4:20 one to be honest.

What the hell was the point of this? No shit alcohol plus sugar is a dream come true for the lower, uneducated brain. We need to pay attention to our fears though.

You can live in love or fear chose love and don't ever let fear hold you back from your dreams.
Isn't this just 'classic conditioning' ?

Yes which can be bad or good, depending on the person and point being given. Ever heard of "first principals" thinking? Its the opposite in a way
what on earth did I just watch?
What was the point of this speech? This is easily the worst Ted Talk I have ever seen.

Seemed like a PSA about binge-drinking, and trying to suggest mixed drinks as a healthier, tastier alternative. Plus, some anecdotal tales, and fun science words about the brain with a hilarious scandinavian accent

I think he's drunk.
