Apparently my consumption was unlike any country in the world!

I often thought I was from another planet :)

Your drinking average is unlike any country in the world.

:a122:

I put in what I normally drank in just one day and still didn't fit any country. Sure seemed like normal drinking to me. I guess my plan to move to a more progressive country that would "understand me" isn't going to work. LOL John

My quiz said:

You drink (DRANK) like you're from Romania, which is the fifth heaviest-drinking country in the world.

I'm from the U.S. about which they said:

The average resident of the United States drinks a total of about 9.2 litres of pure alcohol a year, making it the joint 48th heaviest-drinking country.

My drining habit was also unlike any country in the world. I think i must be from all the countries.

Supposedly I'm a Kuwaiti cause I haven't drank anything this week. :)

Well I tried to assess my two most memorable realities using this test: the current one and my worst drinking times. It puts me off the chart both ways, on the two opposite poles. And I thought I was already far over the perception of being a misfit in the world, or having extreme behaviors...

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.


The average resident of the United States drinks a total of about 9.2 litres of pure alcohol a year, making it the joint 48th heaviest-drinking country.

You are on course to drink about 88.6 litres of pure alcohol over the year, which is 552% more than the average for men in the United States, and 1,708% more than the average for women.

OMFG!

This was my peak three year period and i actually just put my weekly beer/ale AVERAGE and didn't factor in ANY hard liquor or wine i consumed during that period.

I sorta feel sick now.

My results were the same. Sadly I know people who drank more than me.

fini 12-20-2014 08:04 AM

how does my drinking fit in with the average from countries around the world?

what drinking?

':)

This made me laugh out loud. Thanks!

natsume 12-20-2014 08:29 AM

Looks like I would have been considered a heavier than average drinker in Belarus back when I was 25!

Altoids 12-21-2014 08:50 PM

Oh my word. Too eye opening when I put in my old stats. They could have just said "you live in Hell." That woulda summed up where I lived perfectly back then. Thankfully, I've moved to a sober state. It's a much better neighborhood ;)

I don't think it's normal to drink a half liter of vodka every night in any country. Now that I don't drink I'd probably get Saudi Arabia.
