Sarah T. - Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic

First up I want to disagree with the poster that said that Sarah T doesnt REALLY hit rock bottom. Towards the end of the movie Sarah has sex in a car with a boy she never met before who agreed to buy liquor for her. That sounds pretty rock bottom to me. SARAH T is a made for TV movie that they dont show on TV anymore...and should...cuz its a good one. It stars Linda Blair as a shy girl whose parents are divorced and she's just started out in a new school. She secretly has been drinking behind her parnets back for about two years. Her mom gets cute boy-next-door Mark Hammel to take Sarah to a party and to loosen up Sarah has a few drinks and sings and dances and has fun. She tells the boy its her first time drinking. After the next few times he sees her drinking he realizes that she doesnt drink like a newbee at all,and suspects she's a serious drinker who may be developing a problem. Of course Sarahs in bigtime denial but as the movie progresses she gets worse and worse until finally she does end up in AA. This movie isnt readily available and I had to get my copy of it through someone on eBay who made me a copy. Its a shame that movies like this,The Late Great Me and Afterschool Specials no longer air. If the networks or cable cant play them shouldnt somebody package them and sell them?
