The U.S. has 612,020 fast-food cooks but only 392,850 full-time farmers. Americans spend more in restaurants ($390 billion) than they do in grocery stores ($364 billion.) And finally, your fellow Americans spent $155 billion of alcoholic beverages last year, buying enough for every person to down 7 bottles of liquor, 12 bottles of wine, 230 cans of beer and a bag of pretzels. That may sound like a lot, but one-third of American adults don’t drink as the U.S. ranks 40th in the world in alcoholic consumption per person. For whatever reason, Luxembourg (who even knew they were a country?) is number one, followed by the Czech Republic and Ireland. So now we know why Irish eyes are smiling. snip

Damn! 7 bottles of hard liquor in a year. I like a glass of wine with dinner and an occassional beer, but the last time I drank hard liquor (rum while we were in Hawai) I got sick as a dog. Don't know how some people do it. It's not surprising, however, that the Europeans, for all their attitude about wine, etc. are big boozers of the hard stuff!
