Since the only alcohol I drink is brandy in my eggnog this time of year, I get way below average mileage.

Since my wife, the leadfoot, hasn't driven my Honda Civic hybrid lately, I've been getting about 53 MPG with it! Not too bad.
It would probably be getting 60 MPG on pure gasoline.

I believe that's *above* average - less gallons, which are on the bottom of the fraction ":)

22 gals of alcohol a year? Really? That's .42 gals per week. Assuming an average proof of 80 for distilled spirits that's a gal of the stuff per week. Beer would be 10 gals per week. They must have been dead drunk when they did that study. Art

-- I drink about a liter and a half of a delicious white wine with a 15% alcohol content a day, so that amounts to about 225ml of ethanol ingested per day. That works out to about 82 liters per year, which is about 22.2 gallons per year. Pretty close to the survey's finding, yes?

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Probably explains a jaundiced liver that weighs four pounds more than it should as well.
Far better, far safer inebriants out there than alcohol.

-- But the price of those inebriants often includes prison, which is far less safe than alcohol.

At 9.4 l/year, the USA is a ways down the list. That's about 26 ml/day, on average, a bit less than 1 fluid oz. Jim drinks about 9 times that much. He probably qualifies as an alcoholic.
