Four high school teachers launch a drinking experiment: upholding a constant low level of intoxication.

My review · Reviewed 05/07/2021

On the surface the movie sounds rather superficial: some friends try to maintain varying degrees of intoxication in their daily lives. But to what end? That seems to be the central question that each of them needs to answer for themselves. Is it for science? Is it to improve their lives? Is it to push away pain? In the end the alcohol really seemed to be more of a metaphor than anything. What did they want out of life? The last scene answers that question for the main character.
