Synopsis for "Cigarettes & Alcohol"
Having mixed a bowl of various liquors and chemicals, the members of DV8 hold a contest in which the one who tells the lamest story has to drink the entire bowl. Evo talks about accidentally drinking water poisoned by a dead sheep and biker urine at a rock festival; Powerhaus recalls a comatose man waking up next to him in the Caballito Island morgue in a practical joke gone awry; Sublime relates the story of a man walking into a bar with a knife stuck in his head only to die when a cop pulls it out; Frostbite describes being in the car when its driver, distraught over breaking up with Ivana Baiul, committed suicide by sticking his head out the window into the path of an oncoming truck. Sideways Bob enters and shares several macabre, ultraviolent tales from his background as an operative. He declares himself the winner of the contest and tells the team to drink the entire bowl.
