Aussie's love their grog - no doubt about that.

How does this shape up against the American taste for a sip?

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. DWI laws being what they are, one mistake can set you back several thousand dollars in lawyers' fees and court costs.

"The other trend is that young women have really caught up with men in their drinking."


But, but, don't we want them to be "equal"?

We spend $0 on alcohol in our teetotalling household. But we're weird.

This whole thread reminds me of the Monty Python Australian Philosophers sketch (the Bruces):

"To Australians, American beer is like making love in a canoe...





"F***ing close to water."
