Charleston radio figures sparked a debate on drunken driving as two WCAW hosts Roger Galloway and Mike Hammer drank on air to promote the cause. They stayed loud and slurred after 12 ounces vodka and 12 ounces rum, endangering a plan to warn motorists. Audience included state troopers and officials from Alcohol Division and the attorney general office. Both later left by others, arguing the stunt illustrated dangers of drinking and driving.
