The statutory warning regarding the consumption of alcohol is confined only to movie theaters. But it has nothing to do with the personal habits of many film folks.
A Telugu film director got addicted to alcohol and that is the talk of filmnagar now.
He didn't do any film recently and his next project is not getting on to the track in spite of several attempts. So he has nothing to do and hence spending his time with binge drinking.
A grapevine says that this director 'sat' in the house of the producer with whom he had to do the film and consumed several glasses of liquor till 2 AM.
He is in such a situation that he cannot move here and there until the film in hand gets on to the track or the hero officially procrastinates it and relieves him.
He has ample time now to write new scripts and focus on his future projects. If he continues to drink like this as the producer is entertaining, his body and brain may go numb.
