When was the last time you turned to alcohol as a response to stress? For me (as with, I expect, many of you) it was just this Christmas Day. But it wasn’t in response to an argument about the future of driverless cars or the second coming of Donald Trump — it was when I was lied to about cooking a turkey. Disclaimer: I am Australian — we don’t do turkey! Here I was, tasked with cooking Christmas lunch while visiting friends in France. The host did the grocery shopping, graciously, because the furthest my French stretches to is, “Un champagne, s'il vous plaît.”
