The pair start their travels in America, where the legal drinking age of 21 is the highest in the world, and Dom has a hallucinatory experience after tasting the Deep South's finest moonshine.
Russia
Dom Joly and Pete Wilkins' booze-fuelled adventure takes them to Russia, and the pair soon learn what it takes to fit into a society where 80 per cent of the world's vodka is consumed. After downing their drinks in a toast, they grill a spirits tycoon on the effect of his work on the country's youth, perform a morris dance, and meet a naked hairdresser and some sexy scientists.
Mexico
The prankster travels across Mexico in style with friend Pete Wilkins and a pint of pulque - the undistilled sap of the agave plant. After helping some farmers hack up a specimen for brewing, he samples the results with a member of the country's tequila mafia, as well as trying his luck in a local rodeo, learning drinking songs, and meeting a peyote shaman.
Australia
The Australian leg of the journey kicks off in Melbourne, where Dom Joly and Pete Wilkins witness a sophisticated side to drinking down under, tasting New World wines at the races. In the Outback, the pair sample local beer round the campfire as a reward for catching a 10ft crocodile.
Europe
The worldwide binge continues, taking Dom Joly and Pete Wilkins to Europe. The pair taste Belgian beer, soak in a lager-filled spa, and toast the beginning of a shift with factory workers in Prague, where the price of a pint is the equivalent of 30 pence. They also try to write poetry under the influence of absinthe, and set aside a sober moment to race on Formula One racing track the Nurburgring.
India
The worldwide booze cruise comes to an end in India, where Dom Joly and Pete Wilkins learn that social drinking is a growing trend, and meet a figure known as the Champagne King in his chateau in the Maharashtran hills. In Goa, the pair don hippie disguises to investigate the hedonistic lifestyle of the locals and learn that alcohol has a religious importance.

Snapped
Who are these women and what drives them to kill? Oxygen's hit true crime series, Snapped, profiles fascinating cases of women accused of murder. Did they really do it? And if they did, why? Whether the motivation is revenge against a cheating husband, the promise of a hefty insurance payoff, or putting an end to years of abuse, the reasons are as varied as the women themselves. From socialites to secretaries, female killers share one thing in common: at some point, they all snapped. Each episode of Snapped chronicles the life of a woman who has been charged with murder. These shocking but true stories turn common assumptions about crime and criminals upside down, and prove that even the most unlikely suspects can be capable of murder.
