Grabbed this off Fark this morning...

Read the full article for rankings...

http://www.economist.com/daily/chartgal ... id=9325487

LUXEMBOURG glugs more than 15.5 litres of alcohol per person in a year, more than any other country. One explanation is that the duty on alcohol is relatively cheap in the tiny nation, encouraging booze tourism from its more heavily taxed neighbours. No such explanation for the Irish, however, who quaff 13.7 litres a year, according to the World Health Organisation. European countries, with their cultural acceptance of alcohol, tend to dominate the top places. In America, where stricter minumum-age requirements apply, the average person drinks 8.6 litres a year.

Hell, 8.6 liters is barely a good weekend. Some of y'all are not pulling your weight.

I'm not surprised Ireland is #2. We spent our honeymoon hanging out with some Irish and oh my good god those people could drink. The girls could drink just about any man I know under the table.

That's how I came to know my Irish friends. :D
