Support for the show comes from Z Biotics. When it comes to a night with drinks, there's always a give and take. Being in rough shape the next day just comes with the territory. Well, with pre-alcohol, that no longer needs to be the case. Z Biotics pre-alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was amended by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut. It's a buildup of this byproduct, not dehydration. That's to blame for rough days after drinking. Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down. Just remember to make pre-alcohol your first drink of the night, drink responsibly, and you'll feel your best tomorrow. I began taking Z-biotics before they were an advertiser. I like to drink. I am cutting down pretty dramatically as I get older, but when I do go out, I start the evening with Z-Biotics. With pre-alcohol, you don't need to choose between a great night and a great next day. July is packed with barbecues, fireworks, and late Saturday nights with friends. Keep the good times rolling into the next day. Drink pre-alcohol before you go out and wake up ready for whatever Sunday brings. Remember to head to zbiotics.com slash moderates and use the code moderates at checkout for 15% off.

On Today Explained from Vox, isn't that the thing science fiction warned us about for all those years? Yes. And what can we do about it? Can Donald Trump find a way out of the war in Iran? The Iran war has been, by a long margin, Trump's biggest policy failure. Part of the reason that he has been unable to end the war is because he can't accept the loss that it would imply from his war goals. I'm Preet Bharara. And this week, Ian Bremmer, the founder and president of the leading global risk firm Eurasia Group, joins me to break down the latest in the war in Iran. The episode is out now.
