The amount of alcohol people in England drink has been underestimated by the equivalent of 12 million bottles of wine a week, according to new research.
To summarise, I forgot to send in the form. Now they've got a fuller data set the estimate has been redone.

Can you taste the Watercress? Sometimes they advertise an "infused" flavor, but it ends up lacking.

Bum Wine - sounds appetising.
They didn't review Buckie[^] - surely, king of the wines of the delinquents.

It does sound a lot until you think there are some 50 million adults and so it's barely a bottle of Blue Nun each every month.

But it sounds more when you realise they've underestimated by barely a bottle of Blue Nun per adult per month.
Statisticians have had a good time recently, have't they....

I've checked. Our base point is 115 Blue Nuns per annum, rounded up that's a bottle every three days or ten a month. So the extra 0.75l of really unpalatable Liebfraumilch is neither here nor there.

That's way off isn't it?

Yes. That is for the UK and says 40 million adults (2011), guess English adults are about 30 million.

I think you missed the 10 million over 65. So If you take England with some 85% of the population, that's still over 40k drinkers!

Yes  And when you take into account none of those in that age range will live in Scotland then it is even closer to 50 Mil.
