\t\u201cThey brought us back for another year,\u201d Andy Cohen crowed at the beginning of CNN’s New Year’s Eve coverage from Times Square. But \u201cthere’s some stipulations this year, some fine print.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tCohen and Cooper were famous for drinking liberally during their previous stints covering the traditional Times Square countdown. Cohen in particular became notorious for his alcohol-fueled diatribes, which last year took down New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and TV personality Ryan Seacrest. As a result, CNN ruled that drinking was out on this year’s live broadcast.<\/p>\n

\n

\tThe drinking ban was addressed at the top. <\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cWe can’t drink,\u201d said Cohen, emphasizing that with a slight jump. \u201cBut that’s fine.\u201d Cooper asked if Cohen would be \u201cable to make it\u201d through the broadcast. His partner quipped, \u201cDo I have a pocket of edibles? I don’t know. This is a long night. This is a telethon with no disease.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tStill, the duo promised to soldier on, and they found a workaround \u2013 they will still toast their audience at the top of the hour, but it will be without alcohol.<\/p>\n

\n

\tWhat the duo promised was a \u201cmystery shot.\u201d Covering their eyes, the audience gets to see what they are drinking and toast with them. The first shot was \u201cpickle juice,\u201d which caused both to swallow hard. <\/p>\n

\n

\tCohen guessed the juice was tomato juice, which he confessed he hates. Cooper claimed he never had a pickle. <\/p>\n

\n

\tBoth hosts chased the mystery shot with juice boxes. \u201cI prefer tequila,\u201d Cohen said.<\/p>\n

\n

\tThere are four more mystery shots pending for the night.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
