            Yeah, I dont get it. 250,000 people, and a tiny wine growing region on the east bank of the mosel. Chuck in Diekirch and Bofferding lager and thats pretty much it. I would have put the UK up there somewhere too. We consume enough of it, thats for sure.

                How did they measure that ? By the number of gallon sold, or really drunk ?

                              My Nom-de-Net is hungarian, it was assumed as a joke when I moved to Hungary in 1997 and it's kinda of hung around. Nagy is a very common surname and the word means Big, and Vilmos is just hungarian for William my real name.

                                        You drink so much in your early years that you die before you make a dent in the statistics. Sorry. :rose:

                                          Sometimes I drive to Luxembourg to buy absinthe and I guess that I'm not the only one. Low taxes => alcohol tourism. Also, there are a lot of rich people in Luxembourg. What would you do if you own over a billion euro's in stocks? Hire a driver and be drunk for the rest of your life, that's what.
