Dear whiskey lover, in that thread that you created, you have misattributed one of the finest examples of political double-speak and equivocation, and credited it to Churchil, when in reality it was a speech by Noah S Sweat, an American politician and judge.

I will say this on that thread as well, because such historic instances of rhetoric should not be misattributed.

Average Indian male consumes 33 litres of alcohol /year: WHO - The Times of India

LONDON: An average Indian male drinker over 15-years-old consumes 33 litres of alcohol a year while the average for women is 11 litres, according to a study by the World Health Organization.

The study found that alcohol consumption can not only lead to dependence but also increases people's risk of developing more than 200 diseases including liver cirrhosis and some cancers.

It also found that 93% Indians drink hard liquor - whisky or vodka - while only 7% drink beer. India's wine drinking population is very low with only 1% drinking it.

Though 60% of Indian men and 90% females abstain from alcohol all their lives, drinking habits in India have increased over the last few years. WHO found that 32% of men and fewer than 11% of women in India over the age of 15 drink alcohol.

On average every person in the world aged 15 years or older drinks 6.2 litres of pure alcohol per year. But as less than half the population (38.3%) actually drinks alcohol which means that those who do drink consume on average 17 litres of pure alcohol annually.

The report also points to the fact that a higher percentage of deaths among men than among women are from alcohol-related causes - 7.6% of men's deaths and 4% of women's deaths - though there is evidence that women may be more vulnerable to some alcohol-related health conditions compared to men.

"We found that worldwide about 16% of drinkers engage in heavy episodic drinking - often referred to as 'binge-drinking' - which is the most harmful to health," said Dr Shekhar Saxena, director for mental health and substance abuse at WHO. "Lower-income groups are more affected by the social and health consequences of alcohol. They often lack quality health care and are less protected by functional family or community networks," he added.

Globally Europe has the highest consumption of alcohol per capita with some of its countries having particularly high consumption rates.

Worldwide, 3.3 million people die every year due to harmful use of alcohol, representing 5.9 % of all deaths.

Alcohol consumption causes death and disability relatively early in life. In the age group 20 - 39 years approximately 25 % of the total deaths are alcohol-attributable.

"More needs to be done to protect populations from the negative health consequences of alcohol consumption," says Dr Oleg Chestnov, WHO assistant director-general for non-communicable Diseases and Mental Health. "The report clearly shows that there is no room for complacency when it comes to reducing the harmful use of alcohol."

Some countries are already strengthening measures to protect people. These include increasing taxes on alcohol, limiting the availability of alcohol by raising the age limit and regulating the marketing of alcoholic beverages

Well i been there too drinking more than a bottle when driking with friends.
Its true most Indians prefer spirits over wine,beer.Beer mostly in summer.Indians wanna get high and high very fast which happens with hard liquor.
Funny part is in Hyderabad and AP i see the liquor stores named as Wine shop, shiva wines etc. But they dont even sell wine or keep a stock of it. at best i saw was Golconda Wine sold and it tastes like a bit fermented grape juice

I have a huge wine collection . buy them all from nasik . then drive them down

Even a crappy wine is very expensive in India. Good quality wines are very cheap in European countries, they are in the same price range of crappy wines in India.
