ALCOHOL AND YOU (28 minutes, color, 1969). Produced by Max Miller for Avanti Films, Bailey-Film Associates, Los Angeles, California:
“This film establishes that young people are growing up in a drinking society in which it is easy for them to slip into the attitudes and drinking patterns of the one-in-fifteen drinkers who become alcoholic. Well known physicians provide concrete illustrations of the health hazards and emphasize that excessive drinking will produce the same physiological and social deterioration as alcoholism.”

Safe European Home, The Clash (1978) The song is about a trip to Jamaica gone wrong, hence the lyrics “I went to the place where every white face is an invitation to robbery.”
Singer Joe Strummer and guitarist Mick Jones were sent to Jamaica for two weeks in December 1977 to write songs for their upcoming second album. “We must’ve looked like a strange pair to the locals… I’m surprised we weren’t filleted and served on a plate of chips” noted Jones. “We went down to the docks and I think we only survived because they mistook us for sailors.”
Getter done.
