Originally airing on MOJO HD (which was only available via certain cable and satellite providers), Three Sheets was dropped last December when MOJO itself was canceled.

The irreverent 30-minute program featured Lamprey jetting around the globe, settling in everything from hole-in-the-wall pubs and taverns to swanky wine bars to beach-side huts. He starts out with a quick lesson about the area he’s in and what drink they’re best known for, and usually gives a quick overview of the specific beverage-making process. He then eats the local food and engages in local drinking customs with the residents.

The next morning usually involves a kind of wrap-up of the episode when Zane learns and partakes in a hangover cure for what’s certainly ailing him.

The show, which has three seasons under its belt, is actually pretty educational (well, for adults anyway!), and entertaining. Zane manages to stay just above the frat-boy humor and antics, which is saying a lot considering that’s the show’s target audience! (He can also, apparently, say “I’m buying” in more than 37 languages.)

“We are happy to add the hilarious and knowledgeable Zane Lamprey to our talent roster,” said Chad Youngblood, General Manager of FLN. “And we are particularly pleased to be the new home of the cult favorite, ‘Three Sheets,’ which will add nicely to our growing line-up of cocktail shows.”

Zane most recently tried his hand at a tamer television venture on Food Network’s “Have Fork, Will Travel,” wherein he traveled the globe trying various foods and learning about local customs and food etiquette. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to have worked out, and there haven’t been any new episodes since 2008’s one season.

New episodes of Three Sheets will begin airing on Fine Living Network on July 20th. In the new season, Zane will be visiting New Zealand, Tanzania, Lithuania, St. Martin, and Cape Town. Be sure to check your cable or satellite listings for air times!

‘Three Sheets’ Moving to FLN

Well, I suppose I could talk about powerlessness – the sun’s gonna rise and set today and there isn’t a darn thing I can do about it

Or, perhaps I could address those who would attempt to help a drunk this summer – a drunk who hasn’t considered or paid attention to the fact that consuming alcohol in the sun can kill you faster.

Heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and hypertension are all worsened by the effects of alcohol. Now, I’d love to get through to you, the alcoholic, but I know hundreds or thousands of you will do it anyway, drink in the sun at the beach, at barbeques, at sporting events this summer. Some of you will even be taking medications. (I drank around my blood pressure meds.)

Rather, for those who are there when you perpetrate these actions upon yourselves, please be aware that alcohol will raise your blood pressure to extreme heights when you drink in the hot sun. Notice any swelling in the face or fingertips. Get this person help, please. If you can, remove the alcohol from the scene because as it’s consumed it will get worse!

Drinking alcohol while in the hot sun greatly speeds up the effects of alcohol, especially dehydration. Dehydration can cause heat exhaustion or heat stroke, leading to a coma or hallucinations or death.

Hmmm – I remember when we were teens. It was cool to go to the beach, get ocified, pass out for hours and come home with a third degree sunburn. I’m here to tell you, NO, it wasn’t cool! It darn well hurt and some people I knew wound up with scars or worse, skin cancer.

Please, do yourselves a favor, don’t mix alcohol and the hot sun this summer… better yet, find a beach meeting like the one at Jones Beach, LI, NY at West End 2 on Sun mornings. Get there early before you have to pay for parking, watch the sunrise, it’s wonderful! And Liz B. will be celebrating her 53rd on the second weekend of July (if I’m wrong please correct me) and that’s a great meeting! Wait ’til you have that early moment of silence with a couple of thousand sober folks and all you hear are the seagulls and the waves. Incredible!

A Sober, Clean Day To All,

The Hot Sun And Alcohol

From a thread titled “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” , a cool statement for anyone who may be concerned whether or not they have a drinking problem from member wareagle10.

You’ve Got Two Choices

“As far as you drinking is concerned, you are either an alcoholic or you are not an alcoholic.

If you are not an alcoholic, then you don’t have anything to worry about. But if you are an alcoholic, then you have two things to worry about; you will either have to do something about your drinking or do nothing about your drinking.

If you do something about your drinking like joining AA and becoming active, then you won’t have anything to worry about. But if you don’t do something about your drinking, then you will have two things to worry about; you will either go insane or you will die.

If you go insane, you won’t have anything to worry about. But if you die, then you will have two things to worry about; you will either go to Heaven or Hell.

If you go to Heaven, then you won’t have anything to worry about. If you go to hell, then you will only have ONE BIG THING to worry about; where in Hell can I get a DRINK…”

A Sober, Clean Evening To All,

Two Choices…

We learned that we had to fully concede to our innermost selves that we were alcoholics. This is the first step in recovery.

Please, if your challenge is something other than alcohol, just substitute “the” word.
