Your drinking habits are unlike the average from any country.
But your closest match on overall consumption alone is Belarus, the heaviest-drinking country in the world.
Welp.

Well, to be fair, doesn't the high alcohol comsumption comes from combating the harsh cold weather?
Im surprised we, Mexico that is, didn't rank top 5 on beer.
Not sure if proud.

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure you did.
Seems like it's really really easy to get Belarius on this quiz. I was up at a buddies cabin this past weekend where we had 3 nights of pretty heavy drinking. Since I've gotten back I've been to two Christmas parties and gone out to eat with friends once. All that put my total consumption for this past week at probably around 50 beers and 10 spirits. Obviously that's higher than a typical week, but in no way has this week been some constant bender. Yet looking at the guy who put 19 beers and getting the "your results don't match any country..." line seems crazy. 19 beers is not all that much to drink in one week, despite what all the staunch anti-drinkers on this forum are about to say.

They have pints of beer, but does a pint of whiskey count as a single measure? I mean, I drank it over two days...is that two?

I got Naimibia, the 33rd most drinkinist country in the world, but then it tells me I drink less than someone from the US, but the US is below Naimibia at 40-something? What the hell?
Fun Fact: A year ago I was drinking 1 4loko and a six pack of beer a night. Heres what that tally looked like:
If you drank like this every week, in a year you would consume:
2,860
pints
Your drinking habits are unlike the average from any country.
But your closest match on overall consumption alone is Belarus, the heaviest-drinking country in the world.
You are on course to drink about 81.2 litres of pure alcohol over the year, which is 497% more than the average for men in the United States, and 1,558% more than the average for women.
Christ, Im glad I slowed down to 2 beers a night
First off, this is a UK site so a pint is 20oz, not 16, so youre probably overestimating, especially if youre talking about 12 oz bottles.
Second off, 19 beers IS a lot. I used to think that way too, youre probably in college. Youll slow down on your own, and if you dont, by the time youre 25 maybe you should double check yourself.

Crap, I got Belarus.
I just want to use this chance to apologize to any Gaffer that I PM'd while drunk and might feel offended. Never again.

I'm 31, graduated from college nearly 10 years ago. I'm fit, I have a wonderful job and a nice social life, and 19 beers is probably slightly low balling it for my average week.
If you break it down, 19 beers is a little over 2.5 beers a night (and, yes, I am American, so I think of one beer as 12oz). I'm in the service industry where I work as a bartender and server. This puts me out with friends from work fairly frequently where I'll often have 2-4 beers before going home for the evening. I'm a huge fan of craft beer, so on nights that I don't go out I'll often have 2-3 beers after work, certainly not always, but often. Beyond that, I occasionally hang out with a group of friends outside of work on weekends I'm off, and we'll generally have 6 beers on a night we're together. I understand there are some people who simply don't drink or drink very, very little, but in the work and social culture I exist in this kind of drinking is far from excessive. I have friends and coworkers who drink far, far more, and they're fine.
I dunno, I just find it crazy that many people don't think you can drink commonly and still be "ok".

40 spirits a week which is Moldova apparently, the second heaviest.
Honestly I thought Scotland would be top.

Lol. Same here. I'd drink more but I can't afford to (atleast not the craft brews).

Nearly all of Kuwait's inhabitants also abstain - selling or drinking alcohol is illegal in the country. Kuwait is the lightest-drinking country in the world.
Welp.

a lot of my threads involve me fucking up somehow. Perhaps I'm a moron?
I got Portugese, no real surprise there as I do enjoy a glass of wine now and then.
Suck it home nation of 40th place Canada!!
Yeah GAF can be a bit touchy on this subject. I made a thread about how much wine I drink per week and a good amount of people said I was bordering on alcoholism.
