Cheers!!!

A recent study found the average Canadian walks about 900 miles a year.

Another study found Canadians drink, on average, 22 gallons of beer a year.

That means, on average, Canadians get about 41 miles to the gallon.

Kind Of Makes You Proud To Be Canadian ....eh?

Any comparison for liquor.... ....I'm sure my dad could have gotten better than 41 miles per gallon with liquor. He wasn't an alcoholic, but he did like to drink when there was occasion to drink.

They may be drinking my portion because I don't drink beer. Maybe the odd Guinness once or twice a year, but that's about it.

Just as a side note..... since I'm sure I'm not the only person who doesn't drink 22 GALLONS of beer in a year.... just how much beer are those beer drinkers really consuming?!!! Holy Toledo.

I'm a wine lover, myself. In fact, I recently joined the wine club at the local vintages store here. I made the decision to do that the day after I called my girlfriend in Canada balling my eyes out. My husband had been promoted a few months ago and was/is working non-stop, 24/7. Even the few hours he was home he was getting calls from work, so I was beginning to feel like a non-entity. Being so far from home only exacerbated my sense of loneliness. Unfortunately, it seemed like whenever I made calls to anyone in Canada they never picked up. One (lonely) night I had called some family members, completely forgetting that it was the Canada Day weekend so no one was answering their phone. (They'd all gone away.) This made me feel sadder because I would normally have gone with them, so I decided to call my best friend. As soon as she picked up the phone and I heard a familiar voice, I started balling my eyes out. Poor Arlene thought something was terribly wrong. She kept saying "What's wrong? What's wrong?" And all I could say through my tears was "Nothing's wrong."

Anyway, that's the reason why I joined the wine club. Arlene told me to go and do something for myself, so I did. Cheers to wine and best friends.
