Coinciding with Drug and Alcohol Awareness Week, Current TV launch the Wasted season, a frank exposé exploring the way drugs and alcohol are used and abused by young people today. A seven day programming feature offering compelling and personal insights into these taboo topics, the Wasted season sheds light on the diversity of opinions that still surround them. Premiering on Monday 23rd June, Wasted takes an explicit and gritty look at the UK’s prolific drug scene and drinking culture, from the manufacturing process right through to the extremes of addiction.

It’s become resonant with popular drug culture, but shocking scenes ensue when frequent user Gruff is forced to witness the effects of Ketamine when used as an anaesthetic.

Best known as an horse tranquilizer, utilized by vets in equine surgery, Gruff is startled to see a horse fall to the floor within seconds of the drug being administered. With the horse quickly descending into unconsciousness, the chilling realization dawns upon Gruff that the horse has been injected with less than half of his regular evening dosage. Will the harrowing experience be a strong enough deterrent to put a halt to Gruff’s escalating habit?

Current TV can be found on Sky Channel 193/Virgin Channel 155

Wasted Season runs from Monday 23rd June to Sunday 29th June, 9pm – 10.30pm
