Opposition politicians in Germany have voiced alarm at the amount of alcohol being consumed by Bundeswehr soldiers.
Opposition politicians voiced concern Wednesday following the disclosure that more than a million litres of alcohol were sent to camps in Afghanistan over just one year.
German soldiers received about 990,000 litres of beer and 69,000 litres of wine and sparkling wine in 2007.
And this year the total is on track to rise, with some 512,000 litres of beer and 42,000 litres of wine being sent out in the first six months of 2008. When the drinks arrrive, they are put up for sale in German-run shops at the camps, most in the relatively peaceful north, where 3,600 Bundeswehr soldiers are stationed.

Perhaps you can hear:
Ich möchte einen Toast auf Obama ausbringen!
"I'd like to propose a toast to Obama!"
It’s either booze or opium from the available poppy seeds.
They sell it.
They ain’t drinkin it!................
Since the Germans have a policy of not shooting terrorists unless shot upon, they have nothing to do but drink. The terrorists have learned to ignore the Germans
Not that much once breakage, spillage, spoilage, shrinkage, barter and grey market sales are factored in.
I recall reading someplace that the average German male received something like 1/3 of his nutritional intake from Beer anyhow.
Hmmm, booze, opium.....Maybe the Afghanis are cranking out an old American favorite, laudenum..
