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.

It's a sign of the poverty of society's intellectual self reflection that we take the word of an alcoholic as suitably authoritative on this issue.
Is NZ a reasonably advanced, reasonably open, reasonably liberal society? Yes. This is more than can be said for most of the world, so plainly the sky is not, in fact, falling.

It really is sad that we rely on beer, a poison plague, practically more than oil. I don't approve of any alcohol.

Yeah we are. Imagine a terrorist attack on a brewery.
Heres a list:
(1) A sea of mullets will rise like mankind has never seen before(espessially once they find out that they have to switch from bud to coors)
(2)Samual Adams will rise from the grave and epicly destroy all of the middle east.
(3)Aftermath: Free drinks on Osama Bin Ladin's tab - 3 years ago
