    Feature: Why how we drink has shaped our civilisation

    It's Dry July and thousands of New Zealanders are giving up alcohol to raise money. It's a chance to rethink our relationship with drinking, but maybe not in the way you might expect. Drinking is one of humanity's oldest habits. In fact, civilisation itself may never have taken off without alcohol, says Dr Edward Slingerland, a professor of philosophy at the University of British Columbia. Wherever humans have settled, fermented drinks have followed. He argues that's no accident. Rather than seeing alcohol simply as a vice, Slingerland explores how it has acted as a social lubricant, strengthening trust and cooperation and helping to lay the foundations of culture itself. His book is called Drunk: How We Sipped, Danced, and Stumbled Our Way to Civilization. [picture id="4JLT6U9_edward_slingerland_photo_credit_paul_joseph_jpeg" crop="16x10" layout="full"]

    How can you avoid getting scammed online?

    We're going to talk scams now because Netsafe says most New Zealand adults have encountered a scam in the past year, and many of them will have lost money as a result. For older New Zealanders, and really anyone who doesn't feel confident online, it can be embarrassing to admit you've been taken for a ride. So we asked Netsafe Chief Online Safety Officer Sean Lyons to join us and share some practical steps to avoid becoming prey to scammers.

    How can you keep your power costs down?

    If it seems like your power bill is more expensive .. you'd be right. The Electricity Authority says most households have seen an average increase of about eight percent to their bills this winter .. and that's on top of the eight percent rise last year. Afternoons has spoken a lot about Gentailers and network charges - so today we want to turn our attention to what you can do to make sure you're getting the best deals. Under new rules introduced on July 1st, the Electricity Authority is requiring large power companies to offer flexible "time-of-use" pricing options. It's also launched a free comparison tool called Billy, which should make it easier than ever to consider your options. Zoe Priestley is the Electricity Authority's General Manager of Communications, Engagement and Data, and she's with me now to offer her tips and tricks.
