Unique comic , So captain Hadacol , had to get drunk to be a hero . I can understand that some . Great history on Hadacol From you Josh . I am sure there were other parts of the country that did almost the same thing during that time . With other so called vitamins and cough syrups . Great post my friend , Peace to you and your readers Josh

1) You're definitely right, Mitch. There was a famous I Love Lucy episode where she got drunk filming a commercial for a vitamin tonic called Vitameatavegamin. 2) Now you're a hero without getting drunk!

Wish I was a hero , Yet Having stopped drinking 36 years ago .I can honestly say for the years before that was mostly drunk and felt bullet proof . I remember the rerun of Lucy , doing that commercial for vitameatavegamin and getting more drunk as she did it speech slurred more that was funny .
