Booze Traveler

I'm giving this show a solid 8 out of 10. Overall, it's a nice travel show and you actually get to learn a lot about different places and cultures - and especially how booze is intertwined in those cultures! Just from a travel standpoint - even if you're not an alcoholic, it's a good show.

I like the host but he's probably the reason I didn't give the show a full 10 out of 10. He's a bit too over-the-top "American! Ya!". Like when he's at a table with people in Peru who barely speak English and he's throwing around all this American slang like they're supposed to understand it. Don't know why but that just frustrated me. He could also be a bit more expressive of his gratitude when some of these people go through all their efforts to make him a intricate cocktail or whatever.. (thinking of the Japan episode where this guy makes him this extravagant cocktail in a diamond-shaped glass that he carved first out of purified ice and all he says is "now that's a cocktail"). He's also just looking to get wasted all the time. Again a bit unappreciative to the people he's visiting when he just wants to 'down' their labored or aged alcohol they've opened specially for him.

My complaints a bit petty, but overall I really like the show and will continue to watch!

I had watched every episode of this show. It combined two of my favorite parts of life: travel and drink. My brother was in a recent episode. He told me that Jack has a guy on his crew whose job it is to make fake drinks to look like whatever he's supposed to be drinking in that segment. What a poser. This is worse than when I found out that Santa Claus was fake and that Richard Nixon wasn't.

Jack Maxwell does an outstanding job of bringing something we enjoy into the world of politically correct and taboo. He travels the world in a quest to see what bonds people together.. alcohol. Culture , tradition and family. This is a fun interesting show that makes me want a cocktail every night... Enjoy...

This is one the best shows I have seen on the travel channel ever . When i first discovered this show it was season 2 and I binged watched with my wife and mother in-law to catch up and then looked forward to every new episode . This show kept me intrigued and i looked forward to every where he went and who he drank with . Jack Maxwell is the best host i have ever watched , so fun so interesting and the boston accent just adds to it . This show made me travel and look for hidden bars and interesting drinks everywhere i went . If this show doesnt come back it will be a absolute shame but this show got me and my wife out looking for signature cocktails and interesting places all over the country and outside of the country . I have met so many people i know call friends all over country because of this show and my palate fir drinks has gotten so much more refined . I love this show and I beg for season five and more jack .

The show seems to fall short. The viewer is never shown the darker side of going on a bender in a foreign country. Sure we're introduced to all kinds of exotic drinks and interesting places, but something is missing. You never see Jack Maxwell stiff as a board drunk.

Maybe what the show needs is a nice trip to a Mexican border town. He should visit the soft underbelly of the seedy side of some cuidad where he gets so sloppy that he can't tell whether or not the fat hookers he's buying rounds for are men or women. Maybe follow that up with a fight with the locals, a tune up by a pair of local Policia, and a weekend in a Mexican jail. Now that would have the makings for an entertaining travel TV show.
