Hell, watching Stranger Things makes me wanna fire up, and it's not even old. But takes place in the 1980's, so there's a couple smokers (Joyce, and especially Hop).

Newer shows have a lot more drinking though, particularly hard liquor, of the brown variety, drank straight up. Poured from a beautiful crystal decanter, into a nice, clear highball glass, esp. whenever people meet for some kind of serious discussion.

It's like in SO MANY shows nowadays.

TV does NOT make it easy for people trying not to drink.
