So I'm re-watching Boardwalk Empire with the missus, and she asks me if I think they're drinking real alcohol on set. It certainly looks convincing enough, but surely it must be something like ice tea, perhaps with artificial colouring? There'd be a lot of boozing otherwise.
But then I got to thinking... How much alcohol is actually consumed? So we decided to do a count in an episode. There were lots of drinks throughout the episode, but only one confirmed sip. Most of the time we would see the characters raise their glass towards their lips, but the camera would cut just short. So why would they do this little bit of sneaky trickery if it were just ice tea?
