Probably to stop middle class reactionaries phoning up complaining about binge drinking.

So Endemol aren't seen to be promoting irresponsible alcohol use.

Why even have a drinking game then? Viewers will still associate the task with alcohol and link drinking a half yard with a reward.

Questioning why there wasn't alcohol in the half yards would demonstrate viewers link the half yard with alcohol.

The reward was also alcohol.

I can't make sense of the first bit.

There's a difference between splitting 16 tinnies between them and downing a 1/2 yard as quick as you can. Although BB is lucky he didn't hit the bull.

Although I quite enoy these placebo alchohol experiments, it still doesn't change the fact that this is the most drink tight Big Brother ever.

The producers are being tight as a nuns **** with the booze yet again this year so we have no wild parties with them all getting trolleyed and like someone else said they don't want to upset the viewing public whom the majority of would most likely see as irresponsible and would complain to ofcom, starting a huge controversy.
