i got really frustrated with those group of moms towards the 54-60 min mark. When the lady talks about wanting to still be able to go on her friends porch and still have a glass of wine and she doesnā€™t know if she will stay close friends with her if she decides to moderate or stop her drinking. I feel like all of those women are borderline alcoholics and she needs to leave that group of ā€œfriendsā€ immediately. They only really care about themselves and as soon as someone in the group said they think wine was a problem they got kind of stand offish.

Im sure it has been. I find it frustrating that there are so few documentaries like this.

Iā€™m just rewatching now, I think it is the same one. An absolute must watch!
It was such an eye opener in my early sobriety, it really made me look at alcohol differently - legal poison!!!

all i could think about when i was watching that was ā€œif i was that kid i would be finishing all those bottle when my dad fell asleepā€ lol especially at that age

I watched this a while back. Hard to watch parts of it.

I sense that seeing his Dad that way kinda puts him off

i remember watching my mom get just totally wasted when i was younger and making a fool out of herself. then when she would pass out, me and my friends would drink the rest of her rum and wine then throw out the bottle and tell her she drank it all the next morning. Maybe i was just an extra screwed up teenager.

It really is but necessary I think. Really reminds us, no-one is immune to alcohol addiction.

Nah I donā€™t think so. My folks were teetotal so I couldnā€™t wait to get my hands on the ā€˜forbidden fruitā€™

the first girl ā€œwell iv had about 4 or five drinks so farā€ subtitles ā€œ16th drinkā€ that was exactly how i was, couldnā€™t remember what or how much i drank after a certain point. expecially when she drank out of the ice fountain and said ā€œi dont even like tequillaā€ it never mattered if i thought it was good or not. Its a terrible way to live. grateful to know that now :smiley:

Me too I never knew how much I actually drank. I would drink anything and everything didnā€™t matter as long as it was alcohol.
