DOWNTOWN: Hey, drunks, see what happens when you can't control yourselves: For those who went to Edison's very cool 35-cent martini promotion on Thursdays and ordered nine cocktails all at once so you can slam them before the happy hour ended, those days are gone. You can still get the 35-cent martinis but it's now limited to one per customer and you can only get one with the Buffalo nickel they hand you at the door. Each week features a guest bartender and specialty cocktail, too.

Comedian Andy Dick was arrested this week for groping a 17-year-old's breasts while in possession of marijuana and Valium, in something of a reprise of his bust last year for doing blow in a nightclub. Actress and teen rehab veteran Drew Barrymore is now reported to have boozed her way to a breakup with actor Justin Long. Heather Locklear fled "depression and anxiety" rehab in Arizona after barely two weeks. Even a Rolling Stone, Ronnie Wood, surrendered himself to rehab again after leaving his wife for a 19-year-old cocktail waitress — and two bottles of vodka per day. Maybe all that summer daylight is pushing everyone over the edge! In any case, it's tough to keep track of who's where on the customary arc of high-profile substance abuse: embarrassment, criminality, rock-bottom desperation, rehabilitation and then either another trip around the circle or a break into the freed
