1268.0. "Clarification of Irish Emigrant info ?" by CTHQ::COADY () Mon Sep 27 1993 14:45


	   In 1980 the average adult drank 10.8 litres of alcohol per year 
	   and this has fallen to 9.9 litres.  Adults in France, Spain and 
	   Luxembourg drink half as much again and only Britain has a lower 
	   consumption.

Question;
Is that assuming that each pint hat 5% alcohol, therefore the real total 
22 pints x 5 = 100 pints per year ?.  If not I would dispute those figures
I know a lot of people who drink 10 litres a week - actually two or three
times a week. 

Second questions; I wonder how many litres this professor had; does he not
know that only pigs fly ?

    
    	   "...............  where a professor of biology believed 
           that there was a "real chance" that genetic science would have 
           progressed sufficiently to create a winged human being within 
           fifty years.
