According to UK national statistics, only 7% of people 25-44 have at least
one drink every day. See http://www.storydata.com/World/index.html and click

Is it just me, or does that seem really low?

That seems really low.

But it might just be me.

Well, some U.S. data I've seen wouldn't say that's very low.
Specifically, a man who drinks a beer a day would be drinking more than
70% of U.S. men. See below.

No,they're lying!

I only drink on days that end in "Y" :-) Generally one after-work / with
dinner, then another one later in the evening.

Well, *every* day, that's rather absolute-sounding, isn't it? I mean,
you miss just one day and you're out of that category.

Fine to know other people have similar habits :-)
2 beers/day is healthy as it lowers heart diseases and arthero-sclerosis
significantly !
