Apparently, no such place exists these days:

Federal officials are contemplating "punitive action" against
Boston Red Sox pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka. Seems Matsuzaka endorsed a brand
of beer and, in a television commercial, actually took a sip of said beer.
That's a violation of (stupid) U.S. alcohol regulations.
Here's the problem: It was a Japanese beer. And the TV commercial aired
only in Japan.
Japanese TV execs had better be careful. This, after all, is the age of the
Internets. Should U.S. consumers watch Matsuzaka drink beer on their
computers, then be lured to demon alcohol, the TV execs could find
themselves in handcuffs next time they're laid over at a U.S. airport.
