I can assure everybody, I do not spend nearly that much on alcohol (and most of my expenditure was with the Brigade in Phoenix Laughing )

"But, if as many Australians do, they don't drink much during the week and then drink most of it on the weekend, then there's a problem."

Actually our dollar is considered strong at the moment. One Australian dollar is about 76-77 US cents (compared to the all-time lows of several years ago where it actually dropped to 45 cents!). It's tempting to make a return trip to the US...
