TRAFFIC - CHRISTENSEN CREATES ANTI-CLUB NIGHTS

TRAFFIC star ERIKA CHRISTENSEN has created anti-club party nights at her home in Los Angeles because she hates the idea of hanging out with heavy drinkers. The actress gave up clubbing when she realised most of her friends were just out to get "plastered" and so she has set up her own alcohol-free garden parties. She says, "I started having my own Friday-night parties... with a pool table, Ping-Pong tables and chessboards. "We all drink coffee, tea and fruit juice while playing charades. No one seems to notice there's no alcohol. You can hear yourself think and actually have a lucid conversation."
