We're not kidding - June 6 indeed is National Pick Your Poison Day. Here, a bon vivant version of Charlie celebrates with fellow inebriate Roscoe Arbuckle in the 1914 Keystone comedy THE ROUNDERS. Even better: Charlie and the DTs in one of his Mutual masterpieces, 1 AM. In another Mutual masterpiece, THE CURE, Charlie attempts to get un-inebriated, 20 years before 12 step programs and over 60 years before the Betty Ford Center. This scene from MODERN TIMES gets one wondering if by happenstance he knew Errol Flynn. That sneezing powder will get one singing a song like this for no reason.
