It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on April 9, 2000.  In the episode, Barney realizes how much of a pathetic drunk he is after watching his birthday party video and decides to give up alcohol forever, which does not sit well with his friend Homer.  Meanwhile, Bart and Lisa work together to take a memorable photo for a new phone book cover contest.  The episode was written by cast member Dan Castellaneta and his wife Deb Lacusta.  Several staff members opposed the idea of Barney becoming sober because they did not think a sober Barney would be funny.  Several critics, including Chris Turner, have also criticized the character's change.
