How to Win Arguments at the Pub

Using philosophy to win beer! Who said it was a useless subject? This time, we take a look at arguments, valid argumentative structures, and logical fallacies to avoid.

❗ Errors ❗

Error on the structure for denying the antecedent. I wouldn't want to hold you back from a potential pint so the correction is below... many apologies.
if P then Q
not P
therefore not Q

Another error on the definition of the association fallacy. I must have had one too many pints before sitting down to edit this video! It should read: 'when the arguer claims that the qualities of one thing are inherently qualities of another'. Apologies, much sowwies.
