Are Aussies big drinkers?

[still kicking]

Only for Assies 

We all know the winecask was invented in Australia, but that does not make Aussies big drinkers. Australia is just 17th on the list of alcohol consumption in the world. Yes, I buy wine casks, but only because they are cheaper than bottles. We all know Thai wine is not wine, it is  vinegar and a bit of grape juice

The first morning on my way to St Vincent's hospital, passing the harbour, I was surprised and even shocked to see many men drinking their morning 8 oz beer.

Even some male nurses I saw drinking.

(Excellent wine for a decent price is supplied by Aldi in these days, 5 AUD up)

My observation is they are loud acoholic macho men big drinkers.

Possibly a lot of their terrible drinking habits has to do with the high rate of mental illness in Austrailia.

Trying to drink away all their problems I guess.
