Power Records continued its penchant for crafting unusual stories, especially when you consider they were meant for children. This plot is basically about how people drop their guard when they drunk, full stop (with a reference to "giggle weed" for good measure). I dunno, for my money it doesn't sound all that bad. Maybe if I had had this record as a kid, it might have led to a life of alcoholism.
The cover is by Neal Adams, and it's of course quite nice. But I will say one thing--I get the sense Continuity Studios was getting close to the deadline, so someone probably said "Eh, just put a big star pattern in the background, call it a day." Toothbrushes all around!

There's a lot of PR Trek out there, isn't there? I don't think I've ever even seen this one before!

yeah, I really didn't cover Trek well enough the first time around.
I think Alan Dean Foster had a hand in the writing of a lot of the PR Star Trek stories, which might go a ways toward explaining why they're all pretty good. I think Cary Bates and Elliot S! Maggin also wrote some of them, as I recall reading that they were Star Trek fans - as was the fashion at the time. Regardless, it was nice to hear an appearance by the Romulans on this one. They've generally gotten a lot less product tie-in love compared to the Klingons.
