Two glasses of beer and I'm under the table. So about thirty years ago, I decided I'd be better off without it. But I have children now of drinking age, and I'm wondering what advice I can give them about drinking if I don't understand it?" said host Shaun Micallef.Across the series, Shaun explores Australia's long and torrid love affair with alcohol and journeys around the country meeting people whose lives have been touched by alcohol in good ways and bad.
