Russians get mean and dysfunctional. They neglect their children, and their children start drinking early, too. I lived in a Russian neighborhood for a long time and this was ongoing. People would move in and out but this was constant with families. We actually had to call child services a couple of times.

Other ethnicities are louder about it, in bars, but Russians drink alone at home, starting in the morning. Sad!

R31, Italy doesn't have a huge drinking problem -- it has other national vices to contend with. Probably because all of that wine is consumed alongside with food and meant to be savored slowly, and the national liquor -- grappa -- is bloody disgusting.

South Korea, Colombia and Thailand in the top 5 drunks?!? How weird. I don’t think of any of them as drunks.

The US and UK being so close is weird too. UK seems to drink more and be much less judgmental about it. The Irish seem less belligerent than the UK - not sure if it’s how much they drink or just being more subdued people.

Russia is the only logical one. No question the biggest drunks.

Ok I looked at the link in r21. That list is of the highest rate of alcoholism in males-- quite different from "biggest drinkers." Some countries are going to acknowledge alcoholism more than others, presumably why South Korea is on that list. South Korea and Japan have similar high rates of problem drinking in my experience living in the region, yet Japan isn't on the list almost certainly because the Japanese pretend they don't have social problems.

R22's graphic shows alcohol consumption. That's probably a better gauge.

I've lived all over the world. It's weird. When I was in Russia they thought I had a drinking problem because I bought a couple of beers and drank them on my own. That was a class thing, though. The Koreans have no tolerance so it's a moot point.

The worst in my opinion are the English, the Irish, Australians and Kiwis. They are the binge drinkers from the rich to the poor.

It’s been interesting to see the British acknowledge the unhealthy drinking culture. Know a few Brits who have rejected / gone teetotal. But the pub is such an ingrained part of culture. I actually like the pub culture - but if you did that in the US, you are considered an alcoholic. All relative - but the US is probably the most Puritan and judgmental about drinking - despite the huge drugs problem.

by Anonymousreply 69December 1, 2020 1:36 PM

British drinking culture appears so much worse than it is. I won't deny you'll see hordes of drunks out on a Friday or Saturday night but that's, like, one night a week. We're not in the pub every day.

One thing I noticed that's very different between UK and US attitudes to pubs/bars is that in the US they're seen as some shameful place where drunks hang out all day, every day. For us Brits they're more likely to be a lot more respectable establishments where you might go for one or two drinks to meet a friend or get something to eat. Most British pubs these days are basically informal restaurants and function as important community hubs.

[quote]Which European country doesn't have drunks?

Not Spain.

Not to say that you will never see a Spanish person drunk, but it is mostly a rare thing. People from other countries in Spain? Easily spotted, but locals are much harder to find.

In England it's bad form not to keep up in pints; in Spain it's bad form not to keep up in conversation or contribute to a good atmosphere. Pacing and eating along along the way helps keep things in control, also not doing the rounds thing, and Spanish people don't need to be drunk as an excuse for sex

R80 Is quite right. We mustn't forget our European neighbours, the Spanish.

No2 is Britishers and No3 is New Zealanders.

I knew a guy who ran a chain of backpacking hostels and he refused to point blank to take Irish and Britishers. Caused too much damage. Whenever they turned up at the door it was "Sorry we are full". He only took Europeans and Scandis. (He said the very best behaved were the Danish.)
