Moderated by Richard Schwarz; 00:12 Unidentified man talks about the size of the audience last year versus this year for the same panel; 01:45 [Richard Schwarz] starts the panel discussion by stating the panel will be conducted sort of like an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting. He also introduces the members of the panel; 07:00 Bill Weeden begins his discussion. He talks about how he is a member of Alcoholics Anonymous and how he has not had a drink for the last nine years. He also talks about how he used to drink every time he had a problem or to enhance his emotions; 08:30 Weeden talks about alcohol as a societal tool and how some people can mess up their life addicted to alcohol; 09:48 Weeden talks about living in reality after being sober for nine years. He used to drink to shut out reality. He also talks about functioning alcoholics; 11:23 Sue Korenbaum begins her discussion. She starts her talk about drinking and driving; 13:00 Korenbaum talks about a study done that showed most drunk drivers were men. She also mentions it did not matter what the legal drinking age was and concludes that the norms or social factors in our society are presented to younger people in a bad way, meaning “in order to have a good time, we have to drinkâ€; 16:05 Roger Ebert begins his discussion; 16:45 Ebert admits he has experienced the pain of those who drank and drove. He also admits he did it himself; 18:00 Ebert talks about the normal amount of drinks an average person should have; 18:55 Ebert talks about previous panels like this one and jokes about the topic being “dry†this year.

He talks about how he is going to attend a real AA meeting that night and tells the audience they are welcome to join if they have a desire to stop drinking; 21:34 Ebert talks about the large amount of material written about alcoholism recently. He talks about the theories about alcohol such as the genetic transmission or genetic predisposition to alcoholism; 22:30 Ebert mentions the book “The Natural History of Alcoholism†by George Vaillant. The book contains a survey of people before they started drinking and how certain “personality defects†influence some people to drink alcohol; 27:59 Ebert talks about preventive measures to educate young people about alcoholism. He mentions the compulsion to abuse drugs and alcohol is so strong there is probably nothing we can really do until the abuser chooses to change their lifestyle. He also talks about alcoholism considered as a disease and help from hospitals; 29:40 Ebert mentions that according to AA one must “hit rock-bottom†before realizing they need help; 33:16 Shepherd Brooks begins his discussion.

He also says Israel is the country with the lowest amount of alcohol consumption.
