    As usual, you judge other people by your own standards. Have you ever thought about becoming a missionary ?

    Recent studies have shown that being tee-total produces a life expectancy the same as that for those who drink to the UK government invented limits.

    In theory at least, you should get slightly more pissed on the Wine than the Beer.
    Different drinks have different alcohol absorbtion rates. In general less alcohol is actually absorbed, the stronger the drink.

    I suppose my mate hasn't touched any for years now. I feel I can't have a couple of whiskies with him which makes us drift apart. Sad.
    That shouldn't happen. A bottle of whiskey is a wonderful thing to share with a friend. Preferably a tee-totaller.

    I remember a contract I did for an energy company in Lisbon - no less than a bottle and a half each every lunch time and another around 6 pm or they thought you batted for the other side. Me being a non-drinker and all, bet they thought that I was a right uphill gardener!

    Dishcush.
    Drinking wine at lunchtime is all about portion control - drink smaller bottles and you can have 2 or 3....
