according to Buscetta the members of Sicilian Cosa Nostra can't drink much to avoid speaking out of turn

not a mafia member, martin the general cahill did not drink the hooch. to be from dublin surrounded by drunks that was no small feat. although he did guzzle countless bottles of orange fizz/pop which really is no better.

the debate goes on i guess which is worse, the booze or the white devil ole king sugar.

I mean think about it this way. You have to be aware of your surroundings at all times, able to conduct business at any moment. You are a marked man and cannot put yourself in a vulnerable state.

Alcohol is a sure way to do just that, just go ask Sonny LoSpecchio from the Bronx.

Alcohol is indeed a hard drug, but under influence people are more honest.

The mainstream film industry also, Plus the extreme drug use.
