Surely the further you go from the equator, the better the gummint collects statistics on alcohol consumption. I mean Mexico, I've been to Mexico (not lately) you see men staggering around at all hours of the day. Perhaps the statistics manage to exclude bootleg & homebrew.

Trans-Dniestr part of Moldova effectively IS like part of the former Soviet Union. It's independent and a gangster state. Like most of the former Soviet Union is today.

Two reasons that make living here far less pleasant than it otherwise would be.
Lemon-sucking killjoys, the pair of them.
Moldova is the only place on earth that wishes it was still part of the Soviet Union.
Which would drive everyone to drink!

Ah now, Scott, but sure and you're destroying my illusions.
It's enough to drive a man to drink!
