And Then There Were 5: Wine Glasses

Socheata doesn't yet approve of alcohol.

And I don't know if I'm being paranoid, but is that why she hides the wine glasses at the back of the cupboard every time? Or, is that just where she thinks they belong.

I'm leaning towards the former...

Cambodian Alcohol Consumption

Cambodia ranks 114th for world alcohol consumption The Khmer consume 4.77 litres of pure alcohol each year; a hefty amount compared to other ASEAN countries such as Indonesia (0.59 litres), Singapore (1.55) and Vietnam (3.77).


Cambodians drinking efforts fall well behind their Thai and Lao neighbours though, (7.08 and 6.73) and they appear almost teetotal compared to the world's-heaviest drinkers, the Moldovans who swill their way through a mighty 18.22 litres of pure grog each year.
