So you'd be as confused as the rest of the protagonists then :-).

While I am a NZer. "I don't drink" as originally intended by the
statement, at least.
And that includes "some good wine" in the exclusions.
One could certainly find substances which slipped through the
"filters" which contained some of the relevant material
But as a rule, most such don't.

FWIW.
