Of course that lady called it anti alcohol hysteria. Her paycheck depends on how much people drink. Ugh!!

Watching it now too. I agree that the answer is not a police state. I am a teetotaler but was a normal drinker for several decades before I progressed to it being a problem and rarely drank and drove.

I just got done watching it. A lot a craziness out there that I don't want to be a part of again.

Also the other night I watched "Rehab with Dr. Drew". Not "Celebrity" rehab but "regular guy/girl" rehab. I actually like this, in concept, much better than the celebrities.

I dunno bout the eyeball shots, but the tampons soaked in vodka....? that's been around..........well, as long as tampons have been (and before tampons....? well, I ain't goin there in mixed company). Psst, women/girls liked to do that cause they didn't want to smell like they'd been drinking.

(o:

P.S. Some may take offense to this, but I just LMAO every time I watched that guy walking into the pole (and, I admit, I watched it more than once).
