I don't find them that entertaining when they drink... it was embarrassing when Phil appeared to be intoxicated, and although I know I'm in the minority here as not being pro-Linda, I thought it was horrible the way she encouraged his incoherent ramblings with questions when a true friend would surely have changed the subject and made him stop baring his soul on Prime Time.
Since very few of the cast appear to even fancy a drink, I don't see the point in the producers giving them any more than they have done.
