I haven't seen any real over-imbibing since this season's premiere episode.
Is there a CBS enforced booze-ban in effect post-Justin?

Geez. They're already going places with peanut butter few ever thought of. Can you imagine them drunk? Yikes!

I know they don't care for the Citrona, and they lost the possibility of having beer in the egg toss challenge. Who knows what the next food challenge will bring?

I was thinking the same thing Jhezzie. I think arnie is terrified to throw booze into the mix. I think he gave them booze last year to loosen the houseguests up. That doesnt appear to be a problem with this crowd.

They had plenty of booze the night they had the luau(sp?). Champagne, beer, etc. Several of the hgs said they had 8-9 drinks that night. I'd say they let them booze it up a bit.

Last year they had to "win" the drinks, and it seemed like they were only allowed to imbibe every other night, or something along those lines.

they allow them to 'do' peanut butter. why wouldn't they let the hamsters get drunk?

Well, I imagine the Nyquil drinking last year, as well as the little knife incident put a quick stop to any heavy drinking opportunities.

This year they seem to have tempered the situation by providing them with Citrona.

There is always vanilla extract.

Maybe these guys just don't have the lack of control over their drinking that some previous HGs did....I have yet to see anyone demanding Xanax or swilling Nyquil! Lots of folks have access to booze and don't go overboard.

They don't like those Citronas. BB should at least let them have some beer or wine on the weekends.

I'm sorry- what is a Citrona?
Is that one of those awful fruit flavored malt liquors?
yecccch!

I watch the show on videotape so I scan thru the ads. If Citrona is a sponsor, I've missed their spots.

Yes they are a sponsor. It's a citrus flavored drink, but I don't think it is malt liquor, it more like one of those coolers.

Like Smirnoff Ice

Thanks.
I'm really behind the times on fad alcohol drinks.

Apparently it isn't possible for this year's group to get any less inhibited.
The booze would only make them clumsy.

I am thinking as Krista has filed a lawsuit for last year's actions, CBS is being very cautious in not letting them get drunk and have a repeat of what that guy did last year with the knife.

Smirnoff Ice IS a malt liquor; a lot of those flavored drinks are (or "premium malt beverages" as they like to call themselves). When I hear "malt liquor" I think of Billy Dee Williams and Colt 45 but I guess it's actually something that is easy to add flavors to.

That is what i think of when I hear malt liquor. :) I didn't know these drinks have malt liquor in them.
