While urinating Nick hears moaning, sceen involves a man and woman are having dominatrix sex. No nudity but is clear the woman is using adult toys on the man.

A man tries to punch another man who grabs the man's arms and pins them behind him, and pushes his face onto a desk until two police officers come and pull the two men apart.

A man throws a beer at a cash register, and the cashier shouts at the man and kicks him out of the store.

Despite being R-rated, this film has infrequent and relatively mild language. 6 uses of fuck (none in a sexual context), one use of the middle finger on a blurry projection screen, and a few uses of shit, ass, damn, and crap each.

The whole movie revolves around alcoholism, and shows alcohol withdrawals, drinking, and purchasing alcohol.

A woman gives a man some Valium pills and tells him they will calm him down. Throughout the movie we see a man drinking cans of beer and from a flask.

As this is a film about an alcoholic, there are many intense scenes related to the topic. A few will be hard to watch for some viewers.
