Instead, the adult tells them a story of three teenagers who learn the hard way that "alcohol is a violent narcotic. In true Sid Davis form, the story ends with one innocent teen being killed and one who becomes an alcoholic bum, leaving the others to deal with guilt from their night of reckless abandon

Subject: Oh Pah-leez! Don't drink, don't accept rides from strangers, don't stand on the edge of a cliff waving to your friends; don't get palsy walsy with well-dressed men that invite you up to their apartment; don't run with scissors...don't do this, don't do that!



Sheesh, Sid. Give it a rest.



All of his movies feature some kid dead or blind or ...heading off to skid row. I suspect the guy had sadistic leanings toward youths. Maybe it was something in his upbringing. Reminds me of a neighbor kid's mother.



And, for your information, they spend that billion dollars because their nerves are bad - mostly because of people like you, Sid. - January 24, 2016Oh Pah-leez!

Subject: some truth in this wow, one drink and your whole life goes down the drain. well I do know a couple of guys that started drinking at an early age and they are homeless now.



I guess they were just trying to scare kids away from alcohol, not a bad idea. - January 8, 2010some truth in this

Subject: Then the boys beat me up and did bad things!!!!!! They cut out the part of this film where the two teenaged boys beat the crud outta the guy telling the story in the film. They then stole his wallet and his keys and drove his car to his house and brought the family dog into the house and let him sit on the sofa and eat all the meat in the refrigerator. - March 20, 2008Then the boys beat me up and did bad things!!!!!!

Subject: Pop's a square. Look pop, buy the booze, don't buy it. But don't hand us that phony crap. One sip and I'm on skid row? Yeah right. Go watch "Keep Off the Grass" pops. Booze is good stuff, WTF do you know? Make up your mind. What's next? Hand me that crap in "Last Prom"? Shift the blame to booze all the time? Forget about it then. The next guy to come along can buy me some booze, hit the trail pops before we muss ya up! - September 16, 2006Pop's a square.

Subject: Slow down, kids, drink beer instead Fun overdone fifties drunk driving film short subject. L.A. area baby boomers will recognize 1950's Inglewood. Check out the Studebaker cop car! - July 14, 2006Slow down, kids, drink beer instead

Subject: Drink til ya drop. Very good Sid Davis scare film here, ÃÂ¡ÃÂ°Alcohol is DynamiteÃÂ¡ÃÂ± tells of three boys who delve into the demon alcohol to dire consequences! The rate that the narrator was going, you would think (and the narrator probably does) that liquor is the equilvalent to heroin. One drink and then youÃÂ¡ÃÂ¯re guzzling a whole bottle! Wacky science is also in evidence here too.. something about the frontal lobe of the brain making you turn into a monkey once you start drinking. And again, the town of Inglewood California is the backdrop to Sid DavisÃÂ¡ÃÂ¯s mad escapade. Honestly, the town should give tours. - January 2, 2006Drink til ya drop.

Subject: THEY SAID IT: "Alcohol is Dy-No-Mite!" Cute kids have one drop and instantly become hard-core, irreversible alcoholics. Jim inadvertantly kills sweet girl in dramatic hubcap-rolling-from-car scene and

has to live with the stigma of "Drunk Boy".



LESSON: ALWAYS bring your own bottle. - March 4, 2005THEY SAID IT: "Alcohol is Dy-No-Mite!"

Subject: Alcohol is da bomb! Ah, the frightening world of Sid Davis, where if you take one drink, you become an instant alcoholic who will KILL YOUR FRIENDS. Three boys start drinking thanks to Paul, but Paul's only REAL fault is "being too good a musician," therefore he can play in dance halls where he learns to booze it up.



So, protect yourself: avoid talented people.



Other amusing moment: the narrator claims to know for a fact that one of the boys, Tip, kept his vow to never drink again because "Tip is my son."



Hey, Brainiac, you didn't know your son was drinking in the first place. - November 3, 2004Alcohol is da bomb!
