It's not that we drink more than anyone else, although we do drink about 15 per cent more than Americans and almost twice the world average.

Ms Parker, a recovering alcoholic who has been sober for 27 years and has lived in Britain, Ireland and Denmark as well as the US, says Kiwi drinking is "even worse than Ireland".

"I've never seen such an alcohol-fuelled country."

Alcohol is literally in our blood. Our colonial forebears brought a culture of heavy periodic drinking with them from Britain, which even today consumes about 6 per cent more alcohol per capita than we do.
