The average South African drinks a bakkie-load of booze a year, or 20.1litres of pure alcohol, research by the Central Drug Authority has found.

The authority 's acting chairman, Dr Ray Eberlein, told a parliamentary committee yesterday: "If we had a boozing world cup, South Africa wouldn't even have to practise."
The 20.1 litres are equivalent to 196 six-packs of beer, 62 bottles of spirits, 220 bottles of wine or 666 cartons of sorghum beer. [Timeslive]
