It seems like every group of friends has one buddy who simply cannot control himself in the alcohol department. He or she gets beyond liquored up and then makes an ass out of himself, as everyone else watches in horror. Unfortunately, for about a two year period, every single one of my close knit chums was that guy. There was no steadying factor; so, normally frowned on activities like vomiting in the sink, pounding “shit-storms” (1/4 Vodka, 1/4 Milk, 1/4 Rum, 1/4 Diet Coke), and running around the house naked while trying to assemble a slip and slide you just drove drunk to buy were smiled upon. Go ahead: judge me with your moralistic values. Something tells me Jim Carrey knows what I’m talking about.

According to Variety, Jim Carrey has taken on the roll of an out-of-control drunkard in his new film Sober Buddy. The Andrew Kurtzman written screenplay will follow an alcoholic software executive who is assigned a booze-less chaperon to accompany him on a Las Vegas business trip. Unfortunately (or fortunately), that sober buddy turns out to be Jim Carrey who immediately falls off the wagon. That’s just harmless fun. (Writers Note: Unlike other websites, Cinema Blend does advocate pounding scotch until you forget your problems and vomit up your soul, provided you stay away from cars and phoning your ex-wife.)

There’s no word yet on who will play the unfortunate soul Carrey is assigned to protect; however, I’m hoping he ends up being Seth Rogan. A Carrey/Rogan partnership just might be the perfect combination of unholy, debaucherous nonsense that would lead me back to strong drink.
