Where are you?

I'm seriously on the wagon these days so I'm a pitiful Timor-Leste (where ever that is).

Belarus based on the last week :greengrin

Its the wrong time of year to be doing this test though, my alcohol consumption probably doubles every December.

Got Belarus based on this weeks consumption.

Tried it again using my usual weekly drinking and got Australia.

I'm Namibia according to that, or the 33rd highest in the world if you like.

I have a feeling it may go up slightly if i repeat this test next week, since i'm now off work for the next eight days!

Bit misleading using the last week, especially this week, I'm the definition of a binge drinker, I don't drink at all for 3 or 4 weeks at a time, i don't ever touch it when I have work the next day and can't get my head round how people can have one or two and go mmm that was good it relaxed me(unless it compliments a meal), my head would be screaming more more more, I don't drink because I like the taste, I drink when I want to get drunk, there is no such thing as one or two, maybe that's just me

Oh I got Namibia haha

A bit like myself to be honest.

I have probably gone for over a month before without touching a sip of alcohol. I hardly ever drink but when I do, I tend to get a bit worse for wear to say the least.

Unlike you though, I can have a pint or two at home when I'm watching a football match etc.

PS-Go Team Namibia. :aok:

Tajikistan, 41st. I've been on a bit of a health drive before Christmas. I will do it again Christmas week, I think I may be nearer to Belarus, as I'm sure most of us will! :D

Good news is that accordingly to this rather strange concept drinking 5 pints a week is actually less than drinking 3...now that is clever.

I like both.

If I'm out and about with mates for a night out etc I can knock back pints with the best of them.

Equally I quite like nipping into the pub after work on my own with the paper and having a pint or maybe 2 and winding down and being able to stop at that. Not every night but once, maybe twice, a week I find if quite enjoyable.

I think with age you enjoy drinking for the taste and pleasure. Like other have said I used to drink to get drunk, but now I am a bit more 'mature' I enjoy a glass of wine or a spirit or maybe a different type of beer I would not usually have and can easily have 1 or 2 without wanting more.

With my football team night out yesterday, the result is a bit skewed as I'm from Romania, the 5th biggest boozing nation in the world apparently.

Usual boozing and I'm back to South Africa, 29th in the world.

It's a loady anyway.

I was messing about with it and if I put in 17 pints, it says I'm from Namibia.

Add one pint and I'm from Belarus, the heaviest drinking nation in the universe.

As I said, loady.

How do they get true consumption rates for countries that don't allow drinking.

I got kuwait though to be fair i dont touch the booze at all !.
I know its weird n all but booze,beer, wine whatever doesn't do *it* for me. I know everyones different n all but i somtimes think im like a handfull of people who just dont drink alcohol.

Though on a positive note i never get hangovers!!

Tried this earlier last week and got "You drink like no other country in the world but Belarus is your closest match.". That was based on a particularly heavy weekend. Normal consumption gives me Namibia.

Due to a heavy weekend I am in Moldova apparently, which is a promotion from being Latvian for the previous week.

Mozambique, which is ironic given that my disposable income is similar to your average Mozambican.
