Dr. Zira is pregnant and they give her Alcohol (Grape Juice Plus)!


Here is the dialog: "Zira, it (the wine) is a great restorative, I assure you! Especially in cases of pregnancy, you know?" Zira then proceeds to drink "Grape Juice Plus"!

Hah! Oh, this soundtrack is awesome also. Reminds me of Omega Man!

I just want to know how Zira can know about grape juice and not know about wine.

reply

She was familiar with the concept of being drunk. I think they were drinking champagne, which she was unfamiliar with.

Back in the 70s, drinking alcohol was healthy for pregnant women and apes
