I don't think I'm buying that. In my experience the number of adults consuming alcohol on a daily basis in France, was 100%. We're talking at least one glass of wine with meals, every single day. No exaggeration.
I could think my numbers might be inflated due to hanging out with professionals at work dinners, but this was also my experience every time one of the locals invited me to dinner at their private residences on random Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
CD-- what do you think, based on your experiences in France?
