Jeremy Clarkson fans issue same complaint as he shares boozy advent calendar

Top Gear star Jeremy Clarkson, 64, has unveiled his latest festive project for fellow drinks aficionados. The Who Wants to Be a Millionaire host is created an advent calendar for the whole month of January, with special treats behind every door. Coming in two forms, the ‘The Not Advent, Advent Calendar: Damp Edition’ is in response to Dry January, with lagers and vodka behind each door.
“January is rubbish, your drinks don’t need to be,” reads the slogan on the box, which contains - alongside two shot glasses - 16 330ml cans of Hawkstone’s 0.3% Spa lager, 15 330ml cans of 3.4% Hawkstone Breeze lager, and a 70cl bottle of Hawkstone vodka for £85. While the damp version contains some low-alcohol options, Jeremy is also offering a dry version at the same price, containing only the 0.3% lager - with the bottle of vodka in a special door to open on February 1.
The Hawkstone damp calendar jokes: “Don’t fancy a dry stint in January? Go for a drizzle instead with the damp edition of our Not Advent Advent Calendar. Delicious British low-alcohol lager, our light Breeze lager, and a bottle of premium vodka to celebrate when it’s all over.”.
However, fans on Hawkstone's Instagram page raged when they found out that the calendar was only available to a select few. While others called the idea "genius," Clarkson fans from across the globe couldn't help but feel left out. "So bummed we can't buy this in the US," one person complained.
