        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...

                    We retired from the competition after winning it 5 years on the trot - it was time to let someone else have a turn at winning it. Now we just sit on the sidelines (drink in hand) and kibitz

                      Now that's interesting, and it comes at a crucial time in my life. I've been seriously considering cutting back on my consumption, but our team obviously needs my support. Thanks for saving me from a grievous error!
