Lol!

And check this out (part of the sidebar):
As many as 45 per cent planned to drink every night during a winter sports' trip, while 31 per cent wrongly believed their insurance would not be affected if they cause a serious accident on the slopes having drunk heavily the night before.

Are they talking car insurance???

I find it funny that they 'need' to do an ad campaign to tell these idiots - don't they have a brain to think for themselves?

Swiss arent any better,

An estimated 260,000 Swiss people aged between 15 and 75 regularly drink too much.

About 300,000 are addicted to alcohol or belong to a group of people at risk.

On average five people, most of them young, are admitted to hospital every day for treatment of alcohol-related problems.

One in six deadly road accidents is the result of drink driving.

Alcohol-related illness generates annual costs of about SFr6.5 billion, according to the health office.

So what are you supposed to do with the vin chaud? Dip your toes in it to keep them warm?

You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.
