So basically, the Latvians only drink once a week but then they have a whole bottle of vodka?

I did a quick search. A liter of vodka has about 23 shots. So 5,3l in a year is equivalent to 122 shots per year. Thats 2.35 shots per week. Since usually u drink at least two shots when you start with one, one could asume they only drink once a week about 2 shots, 3 on a special day.

Doesn't sound very extraordinary to me. Dry during the week and shitfaced Friday or Saturday.

Dissapointing to see the UK all together

Most of the Celtic nations would agree. Oh, you mean in the map?

I did, but now I'm sad the UK still exists too :(

that's one way to make the region resilient. they should drink a whisky drink, then drink a vodka drink, then drink a lager drink, then drink a cider drink.

nobody will ever be able to keep them down.

The difference between binge drinking and having a glass or pint a day.

0.5%? You're a fucking liar, I've seen the people here, they drink like there's no fucking tomorrow, the eastern provinces are causing us to rank lower
