Could this be the worse anti-drink advert ever?

That has to be the worst advertisement ever.

I am shaking my head at the waste of money that is.

I also want to know where I cane get a Galah costume.

This is the best anti-drink/drive advert here at the moment.

It's interesting how different attitudes are about drinking and driving now vs 30 + years ago.

Back then it was just 'boys will be boys' fun.

The acting and production quality could use some work, but "worst advertisement ever"? The message was clear without being preachy; it was designed to counter peer pressure to drink by showing how drinking to excess will make you look like an idiot to your peers.

It's also clearly achieved the first aim of all ads.
It has been noticed and is being talked about.

That makes it a great ad.
Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?
