Hello everyone, Last year my partner and I completed work on a video documentary entitled: A ROUND FOR THE HOUSE! -A HISTORY OF DRINKING IN AMERICA It is 26-min long and is viewable online in Quicktime format (.mov) for those of you who care to watch it. There are a few points/facts that are a bit stretched but this was a labor of love. We did not get the funding needed to fully complete it. This video is viewable online at: http://www.odessapictures.com/arfth.html Here is a blurb from the treatment: "America: liberty, justice and a drink for all? This is the history of alcohol and our attitudes towards drinking from the revolution to today. What if an American President used alcohol to buy votes to get elected? What if Federal Judges interrupted court proceedings to drink alcohol? While few would deny that alcohol has been a problem for our society, many would be astonished to know we drink less today than in earlier periods in our history. This is the story of America as seen from the bottom of the drinking glass, and the astonishing role alcohol has played in the history of our nation. Alcohol, some say it's the devils drink. Like it or not, it has played a major role in the history of our nation, and its use is very much a part of our collective heritage. For more than four centuries, alcohol has flowed out of taverns and down the throats of millions in America. Yet few people today recognize this thread that has weaved its way through our history and into the fabric of our society. A Round for the House traces our long, sometimes tortured relationship with drinking from the American Revolution to today. Our goal is to present alcohol in a historical context while neither glorifying – or vilifying it’s use. We will present the history of our country’s relationship with “the bottle” in a different light – one that tells the fascinating story of alcohol and it’s place in our cultural heritage."
