Clever anti-alcohol PSA Mouseover for a sober view (mildly NSFW in places)

That's extremely well done.

I've been in town sober on some nights lately, and it seems scarily accurate.

Solution: don't be sober.

I agree - very well done. Except the part where there's toilet paper in the women's restroom.

What are the women drinking? It looks milky, but is in a highball glass. I don't get it.

I remember helping a friend's band set up for a show in a bar that I'd been in many times before. I was amazed at what a gross dump the place looked like in the daylight when I was sober.

Sadly, I'm pretty much always sober these days.

octothorpe: they don't call the overhead lights in bars "the ugly lights" for nothing.

Pernod? It goes milky when a mixer is added to it.

Well done.

Though I must admit when I've had that much alcohol on board I've just fallen asleep.

I'm trying to decide which version looks more fun ...

I'd also like to note that I've never fallen off the toilet while drunk. I'd even venture to say that my bathroom etiquette is pretty much the same, if not better (because I'm thinking about it really hard), when I've been drinking.

And I'd never be caught dead in a place with toilets as gross as in the sober video. Ugh.

I was in a Pernod stage when I was younger and reading Moorcock's Cornelius Chronicles. See Jerry Cornelius drank it, so...

I've just been told this isn't an anti-alcohol PSA, but an ad for the Copenhagen bus company. Pressing the Twitter button and Google-translating the link gives:

"Do you know that? You'd probably have gone home. See what happens when you do not."
