Days of Wine and D'oh'ses/References

==Trivia==
* The episode's name and the storyline involving Barney's alcoholism is inspired by Days of Wine and Roses, a teleplay that was adapted a few years later into a critically-acclaimed film.
*Items seen in the Simpsons' closet:
**Homer's Mr. Plow jacket from "Mr. Plow"
**Grampa's Emmy from "The Front"
**Homer's boxing gloves from "The Homer They Fall"
**The town crier three-corner hat (which actually belonged to Ned Flanders) and bell from "Lisa the Iconoclast"
**Marge's Civil War doll/liquor bottle from "Homer's Phobia"
**Homer's cowboy hat from "Colonel Homer"
**A bottle of Spiffy from "Saturdays of Thunder".
**The Mr. Sparkle box from "In Marge We Trust"
**Homer's astronaut helmet from '"Deep Space Homer"
**Homer's skis from "Little Big Mom"
**Bart's firetruck from "Miracle on Evergreen Terrace"
**Homer's Harley Davidson from "Take My Wife, Sleaze"
**A menorah, for some reason.
*Bernice Hibbert is in attendance at the A.A. meeting. Her alcoholism was first brought up in "Homer vs. the Eighteenth Amendment", when she was one of the many people who passed out in shock after Springfield enforced its Prohibition law (a scene that was often cut in American syndication).
*Bart and Lisa say that they can see the defunct monorail from Mt. Springfield. This references the events of the episode "Marge vs. the Monorail".
*This is the second time Homer has fled to Moe's after a domestic disaster at the beginning of the episode. The first was in "Dumbbell Indemnity".
*As the mail lady drops Moe's mail through the mail slot, we see that his address is 57 Walnut Street.
*Susan from "Scenes from the Class Struggle in Springfield" is one of the attendees at the A.A. meeting.
*Homer is referenced as having been to A.A. meetings before. This may be a callback to "Duffless".
*Bart and Lisa try to take a picture of some dogs playing poker. This is a reference to the oil paintings.
*When Barney said Homer takes six silver bullets for him, this could be a reference to and their Silver Bullet marketing campaign.
*This episode takes place shortly after April 20th, because Homer mentions that Barney's birthday is April 20th in Viva Ned Flanders (though with current versions of "Viva Ned Flanders" replacing the April 20th reference with July 15th, as April 20th, 1999 was when the Columbine High school shooting in Colorado happened, this line falls flat). This episode also aired in April.
*The last time Moe used voodoo on Barney to get him to drink was in The Joy of Sect.
==Cultural References==
*This is one of eleven episodes where the Teletubbies make an appearance. A Teletubby is heard to say, "Hurt everyone," as the Simpson children watch the show.
*Milhouse's old blanket that Luanne Van Houten tosses into the trash appears to be a My Little Pony blanket.
**Milhouse's reaction to Homer and Bart taking the blanket away is a reference to Peanuts where Linus Van Pelt reacts the same way when Lucy makes him give up his blanket.
*When Homer finds the tiki idol he says, "Get out of my dreams and get into my car", he is referencing the song by Billy Ocean that has the same title.
*One of Lisa and Bart's ideas for a new cover for the phone book (before Nelson stole the idea from them literally) was using the Kitchen to recreate the painting "Dogs Playing Poker" (more specifically: "A Friend in Need")
*Homer requests for chips that give diarrhea in order to do "spring cleaning", with Apu returning with a handful of Ruffles chips, referring to a failed venture by Frito-Lay called Lay's WOW chips which included the Ruffles brand, where they replaced the oil that the chips were cooked in with Olean as a low-fat substitute, with it being canceled shortly afterward that the added product caused diarrhea as an unwanted side-effect.
==Goofs==
*The number of chairs in the bar change from four chairs (when Moe wants Homer to be the new Barney) to three (when Homer is forced to dance).
*When Moe puts the video tape of Barney's birthday in the VCR his arm is colored blue.
*In this episode, Barney lives above Moe's Tavern, but past episodes show that Moe's Tavern doesn't have apartments above it and that Barney lives in an apartment building located near the local prison.
*When Bart and Lisa are looking through the closet, the blue and red on the Civil War liquor bottle's Confederate flag are in opposite places to where they are supposed to be.
*Rainier Wolfcastle's shorts are missing the line on the right leg (left from a viewer's perspective) for a few frames.
*When the helicopter finally reaches Mount Springfield on fire and Homer looks down at the kids, he is drunk. Then when he cuts off the ladder to prevent the bear from boarding, he is not drunk. But when he walks then flips the helicopter, he is drunk again.
*McBain's line after Bart and Lisa catch him leaving the Kwik-E-Mart stuffing his face is "It's for a movie. I'm playing a fat secret agent." The closed captioning and lip-sync, however, read: "It's for a movie. Now go away, or I'll eat your camera."
