Britain drinks 5 million bottles of wine a day? That can't be right! That'dake them a bunch of drunks
I think I listened to the same program on Radio 4 as you. We also drink twice the amount of champagne as the US, 36 million bottles to 18 million. Get dunked on, US.

Although that must be harder in a country with such a strong pub and drinking culture
Everytime I (half heartedly) tried to take a break from drinking when I lived in Ireland I usually lasted about two days, tops. In hindsight I'd probably have done better if I didn't make those declarations on a Wednesday.
And it's not even that I had deep cravings for a drink, but just that inevitably someone would ask if I was coming to the pub and I'd instinctively say yes.
And once I was there I reasoned "well fuckkit, I'm here now, might as well".
It's been much easier to have periods of abstinence, accidental or planned since I moved away.

I'd be wary of this stat, given that I understand there's nothing stopping any sparkling wine being sold as "champagne" in the US.
So if we're using the EU definition of the term the US might be drinking lots of bottles of sparkling Californian white that they're calling champagne but isn't being counted.

Lifted by the popularity of Prosecco, shipments of sparkling wine and champagne to the U.S. reached 18.4 million cases in 2013, up 4% over the previous year.
So hmm yes it seems that may just be a stat about imported sparkling wines. No info about homegrown US sparkling wines was apparent.

The other night I woke up around 0430 to some weird scratching from the direction of my bookshelf. Pointed a flashlight at it (that's torch for you UK folks), noise stopped.
Then as I was about to close my eyes, something flew past my face. Oh dear, a bat seems to have made its way into the house. They usually don't get into my room but I had the door cracked. So I opened the door and let him fly out into the open area of the house, but I didn't want to spend 20 minutes chasing a bat so I could let him outside, so I just closed my door and went back to bed. Hopefully he'll get back out the way he came in.

Oh it is definitely due to proximity of social drinking. I drink far more in London than I did in Wellington if just for the reason there are few suburban pubs and lots of cafés. If I wanted to meet friends without going to the centre of the city, I had to go to a cafe. Here, well there are at least 5 pubs and no late night cafes

but anyway, I've had loads of Twitter accounts follow me recently where all they do is post weird shit that's supposed to be inspirational and relationship advice, but it never seems like something a real person would say
If we date you can have my phone password, read my texts, answer my phone, get on my twitter, and read my DM's. I have NOTHING to hide.

What the shit is that?
People who have been burned in the past by long-term infidelity, or been put in a particularly humiliating situation where it turned out everybody knew their partner was cheating but them, get like this
Doing all that unprompted means that they feel they can then demand reciprocation

I will occasionally have coffee. But usually water, milk or diet coke.

I should quit my job and run a vineyard under my cruel iron fist
Holy shit, someone is getting fired for this.
Apparently English wineries are a resurgent thing because climate change
Historically northern French grape varieties now struggle there but flourish in the south of england

NZHerald had something like New Zealanders drink and average of 3 beers a day.
No other qualifiers though, so assuming they're counting the full 4 million+, some people are getting sloshed erry'day.
