Now here's a big shock - the most alcohol soaked nations on earth are below. Are those vodka soaked Russkies and Finns near the top? Are the German and Australian lager lovers? Take a stab at the top ten in your head first, then check below and here.

ReplyDeleteShocked that ya'll are near the bottom... ;)
One of your old Monty Python writers, who had an unused PhD in medicine, told of his drinking days--and they were every one of them bespotted--that he drank 80 ounces of gin a day. That would sink your 15 liters in under a week. 15 liters, peh.
ReplyDeleteThese results are certainly surprising.
ReplyDeleteI knew the French were at or near the top but not the order of the others. I suppose the British drink a lot when they do drink, but not every day. Just goes to show the Itals drink surprisingly little.
ReplyDeleteAre they talking about liters of alcohol, or alcoholic beverages? A person could drink a lot of beer, but not get as much alcohol as a person drinking smaller amounts of whiskey.
ReplyDeleteWelshcakes - thanks.
ReplyDeleteThey're talking about any, e.g. watered down wine.
