What does the expression, "bothered by bottles" mean? ?

Question

I just caught up with an old friend on the internet, a former American now living in France. He was happy to hear from me but asked at the end of the email, "Are you bothered by bottles?" I have no idea what that means, do you?

Answer 1

Hmmm.

You do ask obscure questions, do you not? :)

I looked in 'Old Saying Dictionaries,' 'Common Saying Dictionaries', and things of that ilk, but I could not find that exact phrase.

This is what I found:

Maybe he's asking if you drink too much? <JK> :)

Tell me if you ask him, please. You have succeeded in again piquing my curiosity. :)
