Is that what they drink in the movies? Cause i'm not sure scotch is the right drink for a 12 year old ;-)

I was thinking a martini, shaken, not stirred would have been a better choice...

Country 'woefully' ill-informed on alcohol
Drinkers have no clue about damage levels
200,000 Australians undiagnosed

MORE than 200,000 Australians are living with undiagnosed permanent brain damage caused by drinking alcohol.

And a further two million people - one in eight adults - are at serious risk of joining them due to the amounts they consume, health experts warn.

Yet the country is woefully ill-informed about how much alcohol puts a drinker at risk of brain injury.

People tend to vastly overestimate the number of drinks they can consume each day before putting themselves in harm's way, risking damage to memory, concentration, organisational skill and problem-solving ability.

Research to be released today shows 70 per cent of men and 60 per cent of women have no clue about the volume of alcohol required to put them at risk of suffering brain damage.

The Roy Morgan survey shows one in five women believe they can consume four standard drinks a day over eight to 10 years without incurring brain damage, when in fact drinking atthat level puts them at significant risk.

A standard drink is equivalent to one 285ml beer, less than a can, or 100ml of wine, considerably less than the usual glass served at a restaurant or bar.

Disturbingly, 20 per cent of males aged 14 to 17 believe they can drink up to 20 standard drinks a day for eight to 10 years before risking brain damage, when the actual amount is six or more standard drinks. For women, the level is much lower at three or more standard drinks a day over the same period.

Again...

Anyone who drinks Pure Blonde is a gullible wanker, who wants to make themselves feel better about being "healthy".
Yes, it may be low-carb, and "less bad for you", but it is a watery, flavourless piece of sh*t drink with a bad aftertaste. More overrated than Jamie Lyon.
