Alco Beat Cahill 1965 12 min : Hop in the car, honey! The cops are giving away booze!
Kathy, Mike and Alcohol Sid Davis 9 min Dumb teens drive drunk and get into trouble, Sid Davis style.
Everything Looks So Normal Bryan & Schulze 1983 28 min : The boss is perplexed by his falling productivity. Well, no wonder! Half the employees are getting high, stealing stuff, and running over the straight ones with forklifts. Filmed in Oil-Boom Era Houston!
So Long, Pal! 1970's Color Sound 17 min : Full of gratuitous costume vignettes, this film is almost apologetic for pointing out that you really shouldn't drink and drive. Stars Steve Franken, who is probably best known for his role as Chatsworth on the TV Series Dobie Gillis.
