    It says alot about our country's attitude toward drinking. I went off drink for a year, it wasn't too hard but these idiots are getting their own t.v show?
    I'm gonna stop paying the t.v license

    What I said last night when I first saw it. I'd love to see what somebody from China or France would say if they saw the ads.

    I know what ya mean. Dont drink that often myself, cant imagine 6 months being a problem. These lads must be borderline alcoholics to say that it would be worthy of a tv show.

    Stupid idea for a TV show I must say. Who cares. I wouldn't be Colin Murphy's biggest fan but what's he at getting involved in this tripe. Trying to stay on TV I assume.. The 6 lads, their family and friends will watch it, think they are gas altogether the rest of us will have to avoid the show like the perverbial plague. When's it on again? :)

    It's getting harder and harder to find reasons to defend RTE.

    There's more to life than alcohol?

    I refuse to believe it.

    I didnt post the comment to get attention to the show but rather to ask people do they see any difficulty in staying off drink for 6 months.
