Oh dear....

"Your drinking habits are unlike the average from any country.

But your closest match on overall consumption alone is Belarus, the heaviest-drinking country in the world"

You drink like you're from Romania, which is the fifth heaviest-drinking country in the world.

I'm a Kuwaiti. Not exactly by choice but not had a drop since February 2010.

It may not be good for one of course to be inured to hard liquor.

Piece in the comic today contrasting oenophilia with public seasonal drunkenness, office parties and so on, saying if people drank more wine they wouldn't get so drunk on beer and cocktails.

'Like me,' I said to Herself. But she said sourly that actually I do get drunk. 'Not often and not very,' I whined. But she was granite: 'Quite often, and sometimes disgracefully.'

So that was me put in my place. I could do with a snorterino now after blabbing that into the internet, but decency says I must wait another hour at least to stay near the top of the slippery slope.

Equatorial Guinea. where apparently they drink lots of wine and very little of anything else.

Is it a noted wine-growing area perhaps?

I should be Uruguayan. But last week was a far from average week.

Ooops! - that's me as well.
But I only buy my wine in France where it is cheaper than UK so that makes it OK doesn't it?
I'd drink more but I have to keep going outside for a smoke.

That made me smile.

Take your drink with you, fool. Or do what I do, keep a fridge full of booze outside. I keep mine next to the freezer full of stuff that you can barbecue. Which in turn is next to the barbecue.

Many an unplanned midnight feast....

Too chilly here, unlike Chile.

Oh, come on AC - use a bit of reasoning - in France, our nearest beloved neighbours, it's been wine o'clock since (at latest) 10 am. That's 9am here. You are HOURS past the time for a first "snortorino" of the day.
Get a grip man.

Untypical week, tho' - no booze when tabletted up.
