    What else do you suppose people do with booze? They don't buy it just to chuck it away do they

      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.

                They made Luton a principality, so that its figures wouldn't be added to England's. Add the two together, and they're off the top of the chart.

                  In Russia, vodka is not considered alcohol, I guess...
