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

[-] abbiistabbii 20 points 3 weeks ago

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

interesting that US is #20 per capita and china is #46, yet china is still double the states in total consumption

[-] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 weeks ago

I mean China has like 4 times the US population. Is it really that surprising?

[-] U7826391786239@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 weeks ago

no. i said "interesting," not "surprising"

Wow I drink 17.1L every two weeks, lmao.

[-] Asetru@feddit.org 12 points 3 weeks ago

Certainly not pure alcohol.

Lol, compare it to Wisconsin.

[-] relativestranger@feddit.nl 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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

[-] Corigan@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago

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

Isn't this that map that Hank Green just made a video about? Don't Trust Maps Like This

[-] Corigan@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] EbenezerScrew@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

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 1 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] Godort@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 weeks ago

I was about to question that.

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

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago

I mean, you do have to account for big parts of the population not drinking, like children and older folks...

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

same with russia.
