Alcoholism in Family GuyMore often than not, the characters of “Family Guy” are under the influence of alcohol. Peter and Brian spend much of their free time at the bar with friends, abusing alcohol to the extent of becoming sick and throwing up. The show even goes as far as to show Stewie, the infant child of the family, completely drunk wasted, stumbling all over the place and throwing up. The behavior demonstrated by the characters while they are intoxicated is in a comical way to entertain its viewers, which could possibly present a bad example to the audience showing that alcoholism is fun, when it’s certainly not. The characters will frequently goon drunken rants during the show, ridiculing anything and everything they feel is not correct. Also, the characters in “Family Guy” often drink and drive, and on many occasions they do so, resulting in personally injury or injury to others, including their own family.
The following short clip shows several examples of the drunken behavior of the characters on the show. Drunken MomentsAlcohol Abuse |
