Okay I took it. Jesus. Holy ****. 4,940 shots a year when I was drinking. It said I did not fit any country.

Not sure whether to laugh or cry!

I wonder if my IP address will be put on some sort of NSA watch list. Jesus.

Average Brit drinks 155 pints a year. I'd do that in a month no problem along with about £1000 worth of coke.
12 steps, meetings , keeping in contact with other addicts/alcoholics , exersicing , meditating , sr took care of that.
Peace

Belarus heaviest drinkers in the world...go figure. Guess I must have subconsciously converted to Islam or Mormonism cause I don't drink a drop anymore.

I am sober today, have been for quite some time. Those stats wouldnt relate to my consumption of alcohol back in 1971.

Nowadays I'm a total Kuwaiti.

When I used to drink, I was from France.

That's very interesting. I always think of myself as a very "light-weight" alcoholic, drinking less than everyone I know. I was off the chart, like all of us...

Perhaps the heavy drinkers I hung out with only drank like that a few times a week, while I did everyday (mostly alone and in secret)... huh....

The thing that makes this all very interesting is just pretty much everyone here was consuming alcohol at staggering rates. Amongst my peers i was known as the hands down heaviest drinker, but even then, until doing this thing, i didn't have a clue as to how far off the scale i actually was. It really does make me wonder why my liver didn't go out or something really severe happen to other internal organs.

Its not the amount we drank, its what the drink did to us!

I think I represented a continent

You drink like you're from Namibia, which is the 33rd heaviest-drinking country in the world.

When I WAS drinking, my homeland popped up as
Alpha Centauri.
