Music together, Peter sneaks in liquor, and the two become extremely
intoxicated, disrupting the entire audience. Joe is then called upon
to arrest them. In court, the two are ordered to attend Alcoholics
Anonymous for thirty days, much to their annoyance. At the first
meeting, Peter is told that alcohol is a bad part of his life, with
Brian becoming reluctant to give up drinking. Realizing that the
people in Alcoholics Anonymous have nowhere to drink without being
judged, Brian and Peter decide to bring several cases of beer to their
next meeting. Joe is once again called upon, under a noise complaint,
causing everyone to transform the center into a church and spring into
a large musical number, in order to trick Joe into leaving.Afterwards,
Peter decides to drive home drunk, and ends up passing out at the
wheel and crashing into a tree, killing him instantly. Death arrives,
and Peter's soul exits his body. Death decides to give Peter a second
chance, and takes Peter into the future, where he sees what will
result from his continued excessive drinking: an abusive, drunken and
filthy man who tortures his family with cigar burns (which Stewie
enjoys) and has sex with his boss Angela while at work. After seeing
this, Peter wishes that he had never touched a drop of alcohol in his
life, so Death also shows Peter what his life would be like without
alcohol: he is extremely cheerful, has a different voice and drinks
milk with uptight friends at the Drunken Clam, and he also does not
know Joe or Quagmire, but instead looks at them as noisy and uncouth.
Peter also does not like this version of himself at all. Death
explains to Peter that he doesn't need to give up alcohol altogether,
but to drink responsibly, and persuades him that he can live his life
without being totally dependent on alcohol. Friends of Peter G. Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
