Given that some children might regard the presenters as role models, the scenes could be seen to glamorise the misuse of alcohol.

do they hold their hand to the bathroom as well?

because I always perfectly emulate wacky British gearheads I see on TV...

Top Gear is not an overly serious show anyway, and should not be regarded as such.

I guess none of the reporters know where that is. I doubt there is an established govt there along with a dense population. They are in their 50s for fucks sake let them drink what they want. Like they are going to hit someone up there.

ah but when they were drinking they were international water so technically they could drink and drive without having to worry about any laws.
