Professor Rod Phillips has been interviewed several times recently on the history and current status of alcohol and food.
One interview was for Radio CFRA Ottawa, where Rod talked about the liberalization of alcohol retailing in Ontario and its likely consequences. (Alcoholic drinks other than spirits will be available from convenience stores and all grocery stores in Ontario from this Fall.)
Another was for the Beef with Bridget Todd podcast (US) that focused on the issue of whether gin or beer was the drink that defined the English in the 18th century. The podcast is here:

Other interviews were with the Smithsonian Magazine (on casual food) and the Baltimore Sun (on trends in alcohol consumption).
