Alcohol & drugs 5 moments

How Alcohol & drugs shows up in The Big Bang Theory S3 E6:

  • Raj Really? The only thing I’ve learned in the last two hours is that American men love drinking beer, pee too often and have trouble getting erections.
  • Raj I’m just saying, maybe if you people cut back on the beer, you could get out of the bathroom and satisfy your women without pharmaceutical help.
  • Sheldon Nothing. That, however, appears to be a football cocktail dress.
  • Howard Hey, at least I can talk to women without being drunk.
  • Penny Oh. I was just kind of hoping you were drunk. Now we’re back live.
