According to UK national statistics, only 7% of people 25-44 have at least one drink every day. See

Is it just me, or does that seem really low?

That seems really low.

But it might just be me.

Well, some U.S. data I've seen wouldn't say that's very low. Specifically, a man who drinks a beer a day would be drinking more than

70% of U.S. men. See below.

If you go by percentile:

# drinks per week for men: Percentile:

0 drinks 26 1 45 2 54 3 57 4 61 5 67 6 68 7 70 8 71 9 73 10 75 11 75 12 77 13 77 14 79 15 87 16 81 17 82 18 84 19 85 20 86 .....

I only drink on days that end in "Y" :-) Generally one after-work / with dinner, then another one later in the evening.

Well, *every* day, that's rather absolute-sounding, isn't it? I mean, you miss just one day and you're out of that category.
