It seems whenever you turn on the TV there's someone swilling a pint, necking a shot, sipping a glass of red or swishing ice in a tumbler of whisky. It's either Pat Butcher leant on the bar at 'The Old Vic.' Homer Simpson downing a Duff Beer or Edina from Ab Fab holding a flute of Dom Perigean - You can not escape!

If it's not on the show itself it's in the adverts in-between. Let's face it, alcohol is everywhere!

So, today Vic and Hamish discuss the impact alcohol in the media. How it affects sober people, it's influence on kids and what you can do to limit this relentless barrage.

Is it time to switch off?

Oh, and they also discuss Hamish's rumbling tummy and Lassie being an absolute pisshead!
