Chug: The next installment of “Three Sheets”

( @DrinkingMadeEasy )

My editors over at Drinking Made Easy asked me to post here on my private blog about a potential new drinking show called “Chug”. Basically, it is “Three Sheets” but traveling by train. Sounds good to me. Here is the press release:

Zane Lamprey Announces Kickstarter Campaign for International Drinking Show, “Chug!”

For Immediate Release – April 22, 2013

TV host and world drinking ambassador, Zane Lamprey, has announced a Kickstarter project to produce “Chug!” a new international drinking travel show. Similar to his previous international drinking show, “Three Sheets” (Travel Channel, SpikeTV), Lamprey will drink with locals as he learns about a region’s drinking cultures and customs. However, in “Chug!”, Lamprey will begin each episode by arriving by train (hence the name).

The Kickstarter project will end on May 31st. Supporters of the project will receive a number of rewards, such as episodes, limited-edition merchandise, invitations to launch parties, and even an appearance in the show itself.
