a.) Unfortunately, the alcohol myth episode, where Jamie and Adam get drunk, isn't on DVD yet. (Matt) :-( There's even an episode from earlier in 2009 where Tori and Grant test if hangovers are worse if you drink beer and liquor together, versus beer alone, but that is definitely isn't on DVD yet.
Do they test which combo is worst? I vote for beer, liquor and wine! MMMmmm garrrr (eve)
