They drink pretty much the whole movie. It was a game to drink along with them when my partner and I were younger.

But they don't though. They are only seen drinking alcohol at the end on Christmas Day. Literally, there's only a few scenes that even feature the parents, and none of them until the end include alcohol consumption.
Chronic alcoholism, and their tinsel was filled with lead
the 1950s and its consequences has been a disaster for the human race
The lead made the tinsel taste better though.
The idea to decrease alcohol consumption is an incredibly recent development in human history.
Which started long before the 1950s. The temperance movement in the US started in the first half of the 19th century.
So relatively recent yeah, but not really relevant in this comment thread.
Did you know that human history includes historic events that happened in the second half of the 18th century? It's true!
Some historic events didn't even include Americans!
Didn’t alcohol use actually go up during temperance? I swear I read some studies on that. Like that was the reason it failed – alcohol use not only increased, but the alcohol that was available became more dangerous, so temperance was reversed and regulations on how it was made and licensing were instated.
You may be thinking of prohibition when alcohol was made illegal in the USA in the 1920s.
Yep, you’re right.
Probably because alcohol and automobiles don’t mix too well
Sure was fun though!
As long as you weren't Black, Native, gay, trans, homeless, a woman, or any other marginalized group -- then yeah, the 50s were grand
You mean you don't like black face?
Isn't that more like the 1920s?
I haven't seen this movie in a really, really long time, so I don't remember what the dad actually looks like, but in this frame and at this angle he looks like a weird morph of Tommy Lee Jones and Bob Odenkirk
I see that. Weirdly also seeing a festive sprinkling of Bryan Cranston
You know this wine's not bad. It's not good either.
Fragil'ee. Must be Italian!
The knowledge that they were drunk the whole time puts the whole movie in a different context.
can't tell if this is a photo of a paper or the editor went through the effort of making the black text background look better than just plain black, either way kudos
