Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} A Travelogue series focused exclusively on alcohol and the [[Hilarity Ensues\|hijinks that ensue]] after consuming it. Taking the phrase "three sheets to the wind" to its logical extreme, the show features comedian Zane Lamprey traveling around the world, meeting people and learning about the popular alcoholic beverages of the region. While it possesses many of the traits of a standard food-based travelogue show (obligatory visits to a production plant; a trip behind the bar; a physical activity segment), Lamprey's wisecracks, devil-may-care attitude and seemingly genuine desire to get as drunk as he can and have as much fun as he can provide the show with its irreverent vibe. Its broadcast history is... storied. Ran on the little-noticed MOJO HD network starting in 2006 for three seasons until the channel closed. Fine Living Network picked the show up for the fourth season (after [[Sending Stuff to Save ~~The~~the Show\|Zane's "Save Three Sheets" campaign]]) and it became one of the network's biggest hits until it shut down to become Cooking Channel in mid-2010. Scripps Networks (which owns FLN/Cooking Channel, Food Network, and the Travel Channel) gave the show a trial run on Travel Channel that... didn't go anywhere. Late in 2010, Lamprey announced that Spike TV had picked up the show. After a year of sporadic airtimes and time slot shifts, Spike stopped airing episodes in September 2011. Episodes can still be seen on Hulu. Lamprey now hosts [[Spiritual Successor]] ''Drinking Made Easy'' on HD Net, which sticks to locations in the United States. {{tropelist}} ~~----~~ * [[Adored Byby the Network]]: It got to the point where Fine Living Network was running back-to-back episodes five nights a week.
