hi, as i heard somewhere which i am sharing with you, tHE world drank the equivalent of 6.1 litres of pure alcohol per person in 2005, according to a report from the World Health Organisation published on February 11th. The biggest boozers are mostly found in Europe and in the former Soviet states. Moldovans are the most bibulous, getting through 18.2 litres each, nearly 2 litres more than the Czechs in second place. Over 10 litres of a Moldovan's annual intake is reckoned to be 'unrecorded' home-brewed liquor, making it particularly harmful to health. Such moonshine accounts for almost 30% of the world's drinking. The WHO estimates that alcohol results in 2.5m deaths a year, more than AIDS or tuberculosis. In Russia and its former satellite states one in five male deaths is caused by drink.

Have to admit I enjoy my couple of glasses of wine per evening.  One could say it lifts the spirits and most Aussies would agree with me.

 I hope this couple of glasses is not "harmful use of alcohol" (mentioned on the first post of this topic)

Morton, thanks for your interesting post.

I don't believe my couple of glasses are harmfull to me SEO.

When I go to my docs for my annual check up she says what ever you are doing keep it up so I thought that is good enough for me.  I am 65 now and have enjoyed by red wine for decades.

Ofcourse drinking excessively is bad for you.

Thank you.  I live in a little village just over 200 homes for over 50's.  I would say 95% have their wine, sherry or beer each day. It is funny about 4.00p.m. you see quite a few people walking down the street with the glass of wine or what ever visiting friends.  Haven't quite worked out why they just don't leave a bottle at the people's place.  Perhaps they are worried they will take a nip.

This Sunday we are having ladies over for wine and nibbles. 

Cheers to everyone.
