You might think that "Mad Men" depicts the 1960's advertising world with an emphasis on drinking and womanizing as an exaggeration, but Madison Avenue legend Jerry Della Femina reports to USA Today that the times were even raunchier than the AMC drama is depicting.
"If anything, it's underplayed. …The way we lived really would make the characters in 'Mad Men' all look like 'Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.' We drank and screwed around."
