Which country consume the most alcohol?
I looked up a recently study and Britain/Ireland were high on the list.. and on the asian side, South Korea were on top, being labeled as the Ireland of East asia.. we have some real men in these countries..
As a half Korean guy , I can tell you that drinking is a huge part of our culture.. we drink when are sad, happy, drink with breakfast, brunch, lunch and especially at nights.. in our society, a man must know how to drink or else he's considered as a pussy and will be outcasted by friends and co workers.
There are drinking etiquette as well.. when drinking with somebody older, u must hold the glass with two hands and drink with your head turned to the side... and if your boss were to offer u a drink, u must take it and down it one shot or else you are out...
That's something I miss about korea. The nightlife is crazy and bars open 24 hrs..
How often do you drink and how are the drinking culture like in your country?

You serious? Koreans generally speaking are lovely, but they cannot drink.
They love to buy a beer, or even a bottle of whisky, but within a drink everyone has Indian face redness, and by the end of the third, half the table is slumped having passed out. Koreans do this with the luxury of seats, which people in England generally don't have.
Koreans are such lightweights that you don't even have to worry about them running away and not paying the bill. You just pay at the end as there will be some of the posse remaining.
Korea has a lot of nightlife, but mainly because of horribly shady businessmen who were forced into marriage by family and need to avoid such company and 'Anma' (prostitutes) are their only outlets. There are a lot of prostitutes which is the norm, but sadly so considering that the only reason for it being so is a terrible society for women. Women are having their revenge, they are refusing to marry these heavy, chundering jawed monoliths and Korea will die through lack of breeding. They are smart.

I think the Aussies won on beer consumption last year but it was nationally and not on a per capita basis. If it was we Canucks would be finalists. Outside of their micro brews, the Americans don't know what beer is so they are eliminated by default ;D;D
I actually thought Germany would run away with the beer title.
For alcohol all types its got to be Russia or the US

www.Abundant spirits & Isle Of Me Little area established in 06' after it seceded from Southern Louisiana in a bloodless coup. Its primary export is sarcasm and empty bottles and its National defence consist of 10-20 canines on any given week and a shined pair of size 11's.
Thinking about it..tracking National consumption can be misleading based on sales. I can't tell you how many micro brews and homemade jobs are around locally. For Christmas I received 6 bottles of 100 proof "Gris Gris juice" that drinks like apple pie and leaves you looking for your clothes on your neighbors roof top(s) at 3am. So I've heard.

Binge drinking is an embarrassing disease that Europe looks down on us about. Although it is in our culture, we do look stupid getting pissed abroad.

This is not just a small amount, this is getting absolutely slashed over the weekend.

Pretty sure per capita Russia and Great Britain are among the highest if not it. I've heard London is quite a disgusting place to be on a friday or saturday night when the bars close, just the sheer number of people who are completely pissed is something you won't see often anywhere else. Uganda of all places has a huge drinking problem as well, they brew Waregi which is basically moonshine and a lot of kids get hooked on it, loads of people drink the stuff all day etc. Lot's of the time it's not made properly and can still cause blindness or all kinds of other shit. There's a good vice documentary on it if anyone watches those.
