Don't know, but they already have dealt with this when Schlein finished second at the UB event.

Hm, forgot about that. Isn't it technically illegal to televise the consumption of alcohol? (hence why the cut to the audience clapping)

The WPT events that aren't in the US follow the laws set forth by the country the event is in. Typically, under 21 players can play in these events because the laws dictate 18 year olds are allowed to gamble. Likewise, 18 or younger is typically the drinking age.

Yes, and uber-conservative network executives get their panties in a bunch if someone under 21 drinks on TV (regardless of local law), unless it is an After School Special.

They would likely just film the final scene twice--one with beer for the international showing and one without for the US. I don't see why this is an issue, they obviously have a plan for this sort of thing.

I don't know, but when we did it I never actually took a sip of the beer (which is now budweiser...???) The second they turned off the cameras, they took away the beer and sat me down for pictures...

Spielberg would use state of the art technology to replace all beers with walkie talkies.
