Must be a Canadian commercial, as they can't show liquor commercials here in the US. As a matter of fact, all of us who watched those are probably going to jail. Thanks Jeff! :happy-smileygiantred:

Wait... I see liquor commercials all the time here in Texas. There was never an official ban on TV advertising, it was optional and in 2011 the liquor makers decided to advertise on TV.

Here's an article from May on the topic.

:text-link:

Liquor advertising on TV rose from $102 million in 2005 to $144.6 million in 2010, according to the Beverage Information Group. Commercial buys on the major networks increased from nothing in 2010 to $417,200 in 2011 and will likely climb substantially in 2012; ABC, NBC and CBS have all begun accepting late-night alcohol advertising in the past year, Advertising Age reported. And while the overall TV liquor ad sales dipped slightly in 2011, experts are already toasting 2012 as a big year across all TV vehicles.

Beam increased its TV spending from 34 percent of its advertising budget in 2011 to 43 percent in 2012, Erickson said. The company has generated TV spots for Jim Beam, Devil's Cut, Red Stag, Maker's Mark, Pucker Vodka, Hornitos Tequila and, of course, Skinnygirl. Many are appearing on TV for the first time.
