The Drunkest Country

 A survey of 32,000 people in 22 countries shows that, on average, Australians got drunk 27 times in 2020. Okay, 2020 was a hellacious year. Still, when you're number one, you're still on top -- or is that the bottom? Overall, the average was about 14-1/2 times during the year, or a bit more than once a month. 

The most common theme for the reasons to get drunk was because 2020 sucked. Words like stress, boring, lonely, and surreal were common. Anyway, "congratulations" Australia!

Other data from the Global Drug Survey 2021:

  • The French consumed alcohol on average 132 days out of the year. Americans 83 days.
  • Australian men got drunk about 30 times in the year, women about 20 times.
  • Americans got drunk 23 times compared to the 27 times for Australians, so we weren't too far behind.

And then there's this, from 247wallst.com, the drunkest cities in America:
