Is the consumption of alcoholic drinks legal in cooking or travel shows?

Is the consumption of alcoholic drinks legal in cooking or travel shows. The Travel Channel and Food Network shows (such as Racheal Ray's $40 a Day) show the hosts drinking. Are they really drinking or are they drinking apple juice and water?]



I was always under the impression that they are drinking real alcohol because the purpose of them being there is to tell us about the food and drink of certain places.



It's the same with reality shows correct?Is the consumption of alcoholic drinks legal in cooking or travel shows?Why would it be illegal? Provided the show's hosts are old enough to drink, they should be allowed to do so whether they are being filmed or not.



It's possible that aren't actually drinking though, because often they'll need to do several takes, and if they keep drinking the wine in every take, they might end up to drunk to do the next scene!Is the consumption of alcoholic drinks legal in cooking or travel shows?probz are drinking apple juice but if they are ment to be drinking alcohol, i guess its not problem for themIs the consumption of alcoholic drinks legal in cooking or travel shows?they drink the wine or beer if it goes with the meal. or whatever cocktail strikes their fancy. the people in question are of age, and they aren't shown drinking heavily. they are only shown sipping out of a glass or bottle, so I don't know where there would be a legal issue.Is the consumption of alcoholic drinks legal in cooking or travel shows?
