Drunk is a science-based television series which explores what happens to us when we drink.
In a country where getting drunk is considered by some a national pastime this series will put our commonly held perceptions and beliefs about alcohol under the microscope. In a controlled environment volunteers will be invited to drink, and possibly get drunk, in front of the cameras. While under the influence of alcohol, these volunteers will take on a range of tasks and challenges which will help the programme explore, explain and illustrate the effect of drinking on the body and mind.
Drunk examines facts and evidence around alcohol, providing answers to a very wide range of questions, some seemingly silly and some deadly serious; how exactly does alcohol effect us – in the short and long term? What does it do to our motor skills? Why do we get hangovers? Do beer goggles really exist? How does alcohol affect your emotions, your judgement or your sex life? This series may not stop you from sending embarrassing drunken texts but it will help you understand why you did it!
