Drinking is so last season

I'm shocked the UK didn't make the list. They seem so much more of alcoholics than the Austrians

Namibia also punches well above its weight in heavy metal bands, which is probably not a coincidence

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Gonna be real, I think both can be related to the fact Namibia was once a German Colony.

Came here to say the same

Is this calculated as liters of pure alcohol? Like 17.1 L would actually be 42.75 Liters of 40% or 80 proof vodka, or is it some other measurement?

[–] retrolasered@feddit.uk 13 points 7 hours ago

I recon so, as a brit I feel like those numbers are pretty low if its counting the entire beverage

[–] Godort@lemmy.ca 10 points 8 hours ago

I was about to question that.

Because if you're drinking tall boys, thats less than 1 beer per week

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Wow I drink 17.1L every two weeks, lmao.

[–] Asetru@feddit.org 8 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Certainly not pure alcohol.

[–] Corigan@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 hours ago

Metrics are different And not applicable excessive vs amount so that's my bad.

Lol, compare it to Wisconsin.

[–] relativestranger@feddit.nl 2 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

when based on alcohol content consumed and not just quantity of beverage, wisconsin doesn't even rank among the top five u.s. states (which are nh, de, nv, nc, and mt. dc would rank second if it was one). src. one of many found

Interesting

Not sure why I'm getting downvoted for wanting to compare some populations.

From my understanding and some data I've seen Wisconsin has many of the drunkest counties in the country (but to your point I guess not at the state level).

Also the 3rd highest bar to people per capita in the us Data
