They were making her do it
to prove what binge drinking does
I don't know her circumstances, but I don't believe she drinks that much
A prime time to properly format the show was now, whilst a lot of Britain has a Christmas break off work, say a week
They could have taken a section of society who knew they will have been out every night over the xmas period, but would then go back to 9-5 monday to friday clean, and then weekend madness, and they could have shown the damage in 7 days compared to how they were before
That way they could have warned someone about what they normally do week to week by showing them the small disfunction in the liver, then shown them what xmas did to their liver, and to think about how they behave in future
I appreciate it's a big deal, and it's not seen as a big deal to those doing it (me included over the years), but that's no way of getting the point accross
