Days after slamming Samantha Ruth Prabhu for her health podcast, Dr Cyriac Abby Philips, popular as The Liver Doc on social media, now took a jibe at Zerodha’s co-founder Nikhil Kamanth over his podcast on the liquor industry.
Alcohol is good business, a business that leech out others life.
No one asked for this absolute bonkers of a podcast topic.
A bunch of businessmen, some quite famous, sit around a table discussing the “business of alcohol.” So far so good.

Days after slamming Samantha Ruth Prabhu for her health podcast, Dr Cyriac Abby Philips, popular as The Liver Doc on social media, now took a jibe at Zerodha’s co-founder Nikhil Kamanth over his podcast on the liquor industry. In a long “rant”, Liver Doc accused Kamath of normalising alcohol consumption and “equating it to good healthcare intervention.”
Sharing the viral clip of Kamath’s conversation with Abhishek Khaitan, MD of Radico Khaitan, Minakshi Singh, Co-founder of SideCa, Shuchir Suri, co-founder of Gin Explorer’s Club and Suraj Shenai, Founder of Goa Brewing Co, Liver Doc wrote, “A bunch of businessmen, some quite famous, sit around a table discussing the “business of alcohol.” So far so good. Alcohol is good business, a business that leech out others life. It rakes in money for governments through taxation & monopoly; and fattens the bank accounts of those behind the industry (like this round table group) and makes barons out of those who sell well.”
“But when these businessmen, start glorifying their business of alcohol by equating it to “good healthcare intervention,” it goes definitely into the realm of health misinformation, which is why, I have to keep discussing this absolutely garbage myth that “alcohol in moderation is good for you” and the absolute nonsense disclaimer to support that myth, which they call “drink responsibly,” he added on X.

Talking about alcohol consumption in moderation, Liver Doc wrote, “To claim drinking alcohol in moderation is good, is actually a crime. It is a crime towards humanity, it is not in good-faith –> it is in good-faith to run the business yes, because the many people who use it occasionally, move on to frequently, and then get dependent or “routinize” it. These businessmen have nothing to lose – because they have already put up a stupid disclaimer to get away with it – “drink responsibly.””
“Podcast discussions like these are helping no one here. Please, do something that actually helps people out here. Do something good for the society, instead of goofing up like this. No one asked for this absolute bonkers of a podcast topic. Irresponsible. The whole team,” he concluded.
