Like the authors of the linke...Thanks for posting. Like the authors of the linked article, I also noticed that US films are less likely to show drinkers acting tipsy than their Euro counterparts. However, unlike them, I don't see that as indicating a lesser amount of alcohol being drunk. When, in a Hollywood film, I see people drinking and remaining clear-eyed and alert, I see that as an unrealistic portrayal of alcohol use. In real life, if a person has one or two drinks, they act differently, even if they claim not to be getting drunk. That's something that has always bothered me about Hollywood movies.rachelrachelnoreply@blogger.com
