Show Description: With "Mel Gibson's" little incident this week being blamed on alcohol (unless you want to get psychological and say it should be blamed on his subconscious), I figured we should have a frank, honest conversation about the stuff for this week's show. Come join the conversation as we look at at alcohol's effects on our lives and steps that can be taken to overcome being addicted to it.
