Don't drink. Just. Don't
15 February 2011 | by (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) – See all my reviews

Very uncommon "public service" episode. In the beginning, the usual suspects are there: the spoiled privileged white kids and their arrogant parents who only care about themselves in their filthy ivory towers and who probably don't even have the common decency of voting Democrat. The scenario is also familiar: girl who died after getting drunk in a party. So someone gave her too much to drink in order to take advantage from her and... no, she just had too much. A boy who is entering an Ivy League college is passing booze, so he may have covered up an accidental death and so is criminally responsible... no, he just has a drinking problem. Bodies start piling up, so someone is engaged in foul play that will be discovered sooner or later... no, what happens is just that people should not drink and drive. A teenage girl gets permanent damage from drinking, so her mother hated her and is doing it on purpose... no, they are just not aware of the dangers of alcohol. So the only culprit is ultimately underage drinking. We even get some statistics before the final credits (only episode I've seen that does it). OK, OK, I got it.
