I made an egg nog that was amazing for a 1/2 Christmas BBQ during COVID.  I was a hit, everyone asked for the recipe.  I later did the math, and it was obscenely unhealthy, while containing a very low amount of alcohol

My version is obscenely unhealty, while containing a high amount of alcohol.  If I had to guess, it's at least 2 oz. of booze per serving, which is pretty standard or even a little high for an average full-fledged cocktail.

Wel, I’m obviously uncultured. But nobody in our family ever made the stuff, and very few of the women are drinkers. And the women did 100% of the cooking and would throw a fit if it was suggested otherwise. I truly thought it was sorta a northern thing, like chowder and snow on Christmas.

Mine turned out to be like a half shot per serving.  It was mostly egg and sugar

Can't really comment on that.  Growing up in Austin in the 70s/80s, it was always ubiquitous on grocery store shelves and both of my older siblings loved it, so we always had plenty of it around the house. I couldn't stand it.

My i s c & a aggie wife's family are of German descent, not sure if that has anything to do with it.  Its origin is apparently English,  some kind of milk/fig punch called a posset, which eventually crossed the pond and eggnog became common during American colonial times.

I recall store bought egg nog sans EtOH as a kid,  I bought some a few years ago and it stayed in the fridge unopened until it went bad.  I think my Dad liked it.

There is no French equivalent apparently.

The French were too busy making the best wine on the planet.  They looked over at the English making weird drinks with eggs and figs and said non, merci.

Egg nog isn't a big deal or widely popular here

mostly because the store bought stuff is not great
