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?

For me: 3 Malts (in earlier day's it was cognac..) and that's it during the week... In the weekend's..? Well I don't count (and I don't think it counts as long as you enjoy... stay sober... and can be a nice person next morning..!)

Three drams only do I propose for sensible men, one for health, the second for love and pleasure, and the third for sleep; when this has been drunk up wise guests head for home.
-----The comic playwright Eubulus places these words in the mouth of Dionysus, as quoted by professor James Davidson in "Courtesans and Fishcakes" (though I've changed the communal "krater" to the individual "dram". Perhaps "quaich" would be better...)
The fourth is mine no longer and belongs to Hubris The fifth to shouting The sixth to revel the seventh to blackeyes the eigth to summonses the ninth to bile and the tenth to madness and people tossing furniture about

Does 7% seem low? or just one drink a day?...
Well my answere would be 1 to 3, but not everyday; with the occassional bit more...

P.S. I've been waiting for an opportunity to use that Eubolus quote ever since I read it!
Sometimes I drink every day.

It's rare I drink every day, tend to keep it for the weekends, and even then I don't drink much. I buy a lot of miniatures as tasters for whiskies I've not tried so they keep me going. But I will be indulging in some nice 21yo Balvenie (and others) this weekend as I have friends over for dinner.
I keep it to once or twice in the week + the weekend. :))

I'm not saying you have a problem but you do sound like a closet boozer. You don't have to tell lies here.
Jimmy, the only one posting lies on the newsgroup is you son. You really should read your previous posts so you can keep track of the s**te you've posted.
This stuff is absurd. I am looking into this right away.

It's very obvious Jimmy, surprised you never spotted your mistake.
Look. So sometimes I tipple a little too much. It's easy to do with the collection I have. Then I just........... I don't know.......... tell people what they want to hear.
Yes .... of course you do.
