DESDE LOS INICIOS DEL CINE hemos visto bebiendo a miles de protagonistas en escena. Desde 1916, cuando Charlie Chaplin se tambaleó en la obra maestra One A.M., el alcohol (y sus efectos secundarios) brillan en la pantalla grande.

En su aparición, las sustancias pueden ser una puerta de entrada a la autodestrucción y la tragedia, o al estímulo y la comedia, además de ser una oportunidad estupenda de product placement. Cualquiera que sea el caso, una revisión del séptimo arte refuerza la relación inherente entre alcohol y nuestra especie.
