April is Alcohol Awareness Month. To mark the occasion, The Words On Flicks Show will look at how alcoholic drinks have been portrayed in film over the years. Joining host Janine Coveney will be frequent guest, journalist, essayist, and cultural critic Michael A. Gonzales. Join us as we take a tour through a bar’s worth of  martinis, whisky shots, champagne cocktails, Cosmos, gin and tonics, and green fairies, as well as the drunk tanks, dry outs, brawls, pratfalls, and bottom scrapings of movie characters who imbibe.
