He was commenting on a section of the new film, called One for the Road, which saw the presenters taking to a boat containing a homemade bar full of booze, including lager, gin, whiskey and vodka.
During the Q&A, held at his pub The Farmer's Dog in Asthall, Oxfordshire, Clarkson was asked how many units of alcohol he drank while filming the driving show. He admitted: "We do drink a lot. We are mostly smashed, really." Clarkson previously sparked fury in 2008 by apparently drink-driving in the Arctic while filming an episode of Top Gear. Producers were later rapped by the BBC Trust who ruled that Clarkson and James May drinking gin and tonics behind the wheel glamorised alcohol.
