S2E2: Flight 1

Welcome back to Mad Men & Tonic! In S2E2, “Flight 1,” Kristina and Elias mix Tom Collinses(?) and buckle up for a real downer of an episode (Drink Lesson at 1:39). As they attempt to cope with plane crashes, neglected children, and the general cruelty of some of their favorite characters, very important issues arise (Episode Recap and Discussion at 4:47). What is the appropriate age to teach your child to mix your drinks? How much money can you actually spend on oysters, club memberships and travel? And most importantly, what’s the deal with that pink elephant? Plus, Kristina introduces a surprise new category.
