OK, I seem to be missing something here.. I don't see any quiz on the page that link points to... Am I just blind drunk, or is someone having a little lend of me?

I'm another non-drinker and got 100% - maybe that's why I don't drink alcohol - I do realize how evil it is. Mind you the Child-bride almost has a wine cellar in the van.
