In France anybody drinking more than 3 bottles of wine is considered an alcoholic. Just 3 bottles a day or less is considered normal.

Churchill started the morning with a bottle of Pol Roger champagne and by end of the day is also said to have downed a bottle of whisky on top of that.
Quite extreme for a late Nobel prize winner I would say.

President charged with rape. Will he see jail time?

=============================================

JERUSALEM (Oct. 15) - President Moshe Katsav could face the most serious charges ever brought against an Israeli official after police recommended he be indicted for rape, aggravated sexual assault and other counts, the result of a months-long investigation of complaints by women who worked for him.

...the police also found basis for charges of fraud and malfeasance in office in the president's actions, as well as illegal wiretapping, while investigations concerning disrupting a police investigation and harassing a witness were still in progress.
