DRUNKS (1995)

PETER COHN

Plot

An intriguing dramatization of an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, from beginning to end, as characters discuss their bout with the bottle. The attendees include Jim, who falls off the wagon during the meeting; Louis, who is obviously still in denial about his addiction; and Joseph, whose drinking caused a drunk-driving death. Others at the meeting, from a twenty-something slacker to a well-to-do doctor, illustrate the social and cultural diversity of those affected by this ‘legal' drug.
