16 Years of Alcohol

Trainspotting meets A Clockwork Orange

A raw, punk-inflected portrait of Scottish working-class rage and self-destruction, tracing a skinhead's descent through violence and alcoholism.

16 Years of Alcohol is a 2003 drama film written and directed by Richard Jobson, based on his 1987 novel. The film is Jobson's first directorial effort, following a career as a television presenter on BSkyB and VH-1, and as the vocalist for the 1970s punk rock band The Skids.
