Why Do Movies Get Drinking So Wrong?

You've all seen this in a movie or a TV show: a character pours a slug of whiskey from a crystal decanter, neat, and hands it to another character, as if this is a normal business interaction or custom. Adam and Zach respond to a listener question about the verisimilitude of this kind of act, why it became so common on screen, and why more modern portrayals of drinking might be moving in a different direction.
