Australian bank robbers apparently know two things: where to go to steal Aussie dollars in Los Angeles, and that you don't leave the bar without your Carlton Draught. It seems that what they don't know is which bars are crawling with police. This presents a challenge when, after the heist, they suddenly realize they're trying a enjoy a few pints with an entire precinct's worth of cops.

So the robbers in a commercial for Carlton Draught take off – with their beers. The cops, equally reluctant to give chase sans brewskies, take off after them. And since everyone knows you don't drink and drive, what follows is the classic post-heist car chase... with a twist.

LOL!

About the only cliche missing was the chase on the wrong side of the 6 lane freeway.
It's C3 chromie for me, see? Si!

This one looks like an add for Americans  

I personally didn’t consider the prospect of the add, promoting a responsible drink driving policy
One could extrapolate that concept .
With great deal of  thought and consideration.
 
However I am not sure the producers had that in mind.

May be the add is something to do with the Olympics
In that alcohol promotes fitness and the sense of well being,
 Hence record braking sporting performances.
If only in the mind of the person consuming the alcohol.
