Hi Kathleen, OK. No more statistical data in this topic (just wanted to make a point that drinking is present in the traditional culture of many countries).
As for the inclusion, - the industry provides nowadays a large choice of alcohol-free beer, wine, sparkling wine [1]. And even alcohol-free vodka, alcohol-free whiskey, tequila, brandy, etc. [2]. If one drinks cola or orange juice at a social event, people start to ask questions, "Why you do not drink but your friends do." But if one drinks alcohol free-beer or alcohol-free wine nobody even notices (speaking from experience). Nobody usually cares to read on the label of a bottle what percent of alcohol it contains. And the bottle itself looks exactly like a bottle of a traditional beer, wine, etc. [1] http://www.alcoholfree.co.uk/ [2] http://shop.arkaybeverages.com/8-alcohol-free-vodka brgds Oleksiy On 04.11.2014 18:12, Kathleen Danielson wrote: > Do you think that we could take the conversation on alcohol > consumption statistics to a different forum?
