  The article says: "But in order to break into the top 10 percent of American drinkers, you would need to drink more than two bottles of wine with every dinner." And according to Watson that's 10 drinks ;-) (http://www.rethinkingdrinking.niaaa.nih.gov/default_wine.asp http://www.rethinkingdrinking.niaaa.nih.gov/default_wine.asp)

    Right. so two bottles of wine is 70 per week. and you would need to drink MORE than that(let's say, by about 40% of a bottle/week) to crack the top 10 :)
