Quiz
This color short is a different film, but is sometimes confused with the 1961 black-and-white short film with the exact same title, The Bottle and the Throttle (1961). They are both on the same topic and both made by Sid Davis Productions.

Citazioni
Narrator: As the percentage of alcohol begins to build up in the blood stream, the first part of your nervous system to be affected is your judgment center located in the frontal lobe of the brain. This is the area of the brain that determines right from wrong.

Curiosità sui crediti
After the Sid Davis Productions logo and film title, the only other credit is the following acknowledgment: "Produced with the cooperation of the WEST COVINA POLICE DEPARTMENT".

"We contemplate stupid things"

Well, that's true enough. I do that all the time, and not just when I have a few beers and go driving, as this Sid Davis movie suggests. Oh, no! This movie must be about me!

It's the sort of movie that was shown in driver education classes in high school, half a century ago, when I was in high school. Everyone talks about BLOOD ON THE ROAD, but this movie seems to have been popular enough to have been made twice: in 1961, as a black&white movie, and this, only seven years later. It's not to imply that there seems to have been much money spent beyond the color photography.

The droning narrator who pauses only for the car to strike its victim, is Timothy Farrell. Besides his minor movie career, which seemed to be mostly in soft-core pornography and monster movies, he worked in law enforcement, rising to County Marshall in 1971.
