"Cooper and Cohen's Shot-Fueled NYE Celebration on CNN"

Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen celebrated New Year's Eve on CNN by resuming their tradition of taking hourly tequila shots, following the lifting of last year's no-drinking policy for on-air personalities. The policy change came after CNN's CEO Chris Licht, who implemented the ban, was ousted. The broadcast took place amid heightened security due to planned pro-Palestinian protests and recent attacks in New York City, with the NYPD on high alert and networks prepared for any incidents.
