We wanted to make the vid as natural as possible as so avoided having the actors play teetotalers. It is common for young urban Aussies to have a drink now and then, and the young woman has one drink in a bar with her friend. We don't think that is excessive. Indeed, our not-for-profit Council doesn't recommend people refrain from alcohol altogether but drink less than general community guidelines. Studies have only linked heavy alcohol consumption with liver damage. Paul, Hep C Council NSW

I work at the Hep C Council and recently finished treatment. I think the video is pretty spot on. (paulharvey)

A vid that purports to be promoting awareness, meanwhile the chick (that's yank for 'bird') is pounding a BEER every other scene, the *very worst* thing an infecté can do.

Great work, folks. Must be great to have zero conscience. I envy the hypocrits that created this. Thank you for letting us know that the pharm co's have a global lock, I had thought it was just the usa.
