I Only Drink When I'm Working
This guy has my dream job.
This is Zane Lamprey, his job is to drink. Zane is the host of Three Sheets* on the HD channel Mojo (Gotta love the future). In the show he travels from country to country eating local cuisine, drinking local alcohol, maybe learning about the alcohol, and finally sampling the local hangover cure in the morning. Who wouldn't want this job? Authentic Guinness in Ireland, DonQ rum in Puerto Rico and Soju in south Korea, this guy is on a perpetual spring break, and on top of that, getting paid for it.
What exactly is the appeal of the show? Unlike other shows, this guy actually drinks. He gets red, he stumbles over, he urinates in public then he passes out. This isn't a, lets teach about alcohol then sample it a bit, this guy is on a mission, to get plastered in every country. Plus, the show itself is a drinking game, from imdb.com:
Three Sheets is the first television show to be produced as a drinking game. When Zane drinks, you drink. First person to see the monkey makes someone else finish their drink. And when Zane talks about his friend, Steve McKenna, it's a social (everyone drinks).

* Three sheets gets its name from the saying "Three Sheets to the Wind." which means completely utterly drunk. It comes from sailing terms when a drunk sailor would leave the three sails flapping in the wind rather than tying them down. Exciting, isnt it.
