> [@AdmiralCrunch](#): > > Alcohol! It’ll make you have sex with ugly women! But your average viewer won’t see it like that. Your average viewer will think “Alcohol will make beautiful women come on to me” even if they think it on a subconscious level. “Whiskey will make you a suave old gent with money” :rolleyes: ---
