Watching a Bukowski video is a nearly instantaneous cure for sobriety. I can taste the beer upon my tongue as he speaks. And I know, I will be down at the mini-mart in ten minutes or thereabouts buying a case of brew and a pack of smokes and a cigar or two. Therefore, it is my scientific deduction, not to recommend the screening of Bukowski movies at AA meetings, halfway houses, correctional institutions, or rehabilitation facilities.
