Take a second look at what appears to be someone's "good luck." You'll find not luck but preparation, planning, and success-producing thinking....

Two pints 'binge drinking'
"Any more than two of these and you could be branded a binge drinker in Australia, according to reports."
Their data is rubbish and conclusions unfounded.
More social engineering by chucking the baby out with the bathwater instead of focusing on the real problem.
It has been clinically proven that a certain level of consumption is actually good for you, including drinking beer.
In addition to this, countries like France, Spain and Italy who have a high consumption of alcohol, including for younger people, have substantially lower levels of violence associated with alcohol compared to New Zealand and Australia. They also have lower rates of alcohol abuse.
The issue is about attitude. Kiwis and Ozzies drink to get drunk. That is where the problem is. Why is it these two countries are the only ones to get banned from events like Oktoberfest in Europe? Wake up and focus on cultural changes.
What next? Ban drinking altogether? Didn't work in USA. Just caused a hidden culture of drinking and a huge black market for organized crime.
