Almost no such connection was proven, but I present to you a curious site with statistics on the consumption of alcohol, meat, rice, coffee, cigarettes and others.
The data is presented very well and some statistics surprised me (especially for alcohol and coffee).
I think it will be interesting for someone, and the important thing is that it is not burdensome.
Oh yeah,beer is the water of Czechs 🙂 and Slivovica (plum spirit) of Slovaks. I remember a joke about this. -"To improve digestion I drink beer. To improve appetite I drink white wine. For low blood pressure I drink red wine. For high blood pressure I drink a cognac. And when I get the common cold I drink Slivovica."
-"And when do you drink water?"
-"I have not yet had a disease requiring me to drink water."
It reminded me that the biggest producer of plum brandy in Bulgaria) has been owned by a Czech company for at least 10-12 years and they have maintained their quality. They were my customers and I have almost their entire collection of brandies (and I hardly drink concentrates) .They have a 25-year-old plum in an oak barrel - it's not drinkable, just an elixir. It's for perfume, but it's terribly expensive.
In Bulgaria, everyone drinks for healing purposes. That's why we have the highest death rate in Europe from heart attacks. Here, they mainly treat everything with brandy. Especially Covid! Many villages have village cauldrons for brandy, and brandy is boiled there.
Otherwise, I like aged brandies and whiskeys too. But for the last 2 years I have drunk 150 grams of hard alcohol in total. I have at least 15 bottles of brandy and 10 bottles of wine as gifts from clients. I also have 4-5 bottles of aged whiskey in stock.
There are quite a few rakias here. Let's not forget that Bulgaria disputes the leadership in quality of rakias with Serbia. More:
Bulgarians invented brandy?! The Serbs are in shock, they don't know what to do!
Like a bolt from the blue and straight into the barrel of plum brandy, the news of the shocking Bulgarian archaeological discovery, which shook the Serbian lands, reached the Serbs. At first it was barely a faint rumor, but then it turned into the roar of the lion from the coat of arms of our eastern neighbor: THE BULGARIANS INVENTED BRANDY, writes the Serbian newspaper "Telegraf".
Until now, writes the Serbian edition, we considered archeology to be our friend, which can support all our claims, but what should we think about it now, when the Bulgarian specialists from the National History Museum, led by Filip Petrunov, discovered a piece of an old cauldron in the Lyuitsa fortress above Ivaylovgrad. which they believe was used to brew brandy?
To make matters worse, the newspaper continued, the piece of the cauldron is from the 11th century and it is not the first one discovered so far. And Ivaylovgrad is not the first at all. We don't know how to tell you, writes "Telegraph", but a third piece of a cauldron was discovered in the Druster fortress above Silistra.
Generations of Serbs grow up learning two very simple things from their parents, even before they learn to read and write. First, brandy is the Serbian national drink. Second, brandy, along with other spirits, began to be produced only in the 16th century, when distillation technology began to spread in Europe.
Concentrate, says the publication, and think carefully, and you will remember how your father sits on the bed next to you before you fall asleep, stroking your head and repeating: "Sixteenth century, sixteenth century, sixteenth century, sixteenth century, sixteenth century. Peter, don't forget, the sixteenth century. The Sixteenth Century'.
But now Bulgarian archaeologists have destroyed everything, writes "Telegraph". And as the last nail in the coffin came the discovery of Konstantin Totev, who discovered a piece of a cup from the 14th century, on which it was written that some Bulgarian drank from the cup on some religious holiday.
Since only pieces of cauldrons and cups are found, who knows what else could happen, so there is still hope, the Serbian newspaper also wrote.
Belgraders, with whom the publication spoke, are not very optimistic.
“I'm not sure what to think. All their lives they have been taught that the brandy is ours and now this. I am afraid that the Bulgarian findings are convincing. Maybe we'll have to put up with the fact that we're drinking Bulgarian drink," said a confused young man we spoke to near the Alexander Nevsky Church in the Dorchol district, the newspaper reported.
A middle-aged lady who was returning from a birthday party last night says that no one wanted to drink brandy at the party.
"No one wanted to take any chances, they only drank beer and vodka, because Russians are Serbs. You know, this is not a joke, until we find out what's going on, brandy is "off limit". There is also a moral problem here, I think what will happen if we continue to drink brandy and become Bulgarians, God forbid," said the woman, crossing herself.
Yes, that's right. This "fight" with the Serbs about brandy is rather funny, although some people take it quite seriously. I personally can't understand such people, but it's a big world. Otherwise, the......... are the world champions of blooming Swearing. Here the Bulgarians are already in second place, I admit it. ha ha ha...
