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.
