How does this shape up against the American taste for a sip?
we'll spend that much on Super Bowl sunday........lol
My guess would be that Australian, and for that matter, European alcohol consumption, well outstrips American consumption. A larger percentage of Americans than Australians are teetotalers, and many others consume sparingly.
