For technical details : I would drink a minimum of 4 pints of Bud (the lightest pints available on tap) on a quiet evening out. Four nights a week on average.
For thirteen years (I was drinking the same when I worked).

And again, I was fit, I wasn't even considered a drinker. Like, this was considered normal, social drinking.

When I went to live in China, this felt like having a superpower :,D

When you drop everything to fly halfway around the world to warch grown men in shorts run around and chase a ball for 90 minutes, then drink all the beer in a given area.

What article? I must've missed that one... but it's still not apples to apples... because a lot of people still work day of 4th of July, don't take that time off to celebrate like people on holiday for the world cup do.

I'm not doubting the answers, mind you, just the validity of the test itself.

Nah, the rest of the Great Lakes states would probably each give Scotland a run. I'm from Michigan and a lot of Yoopers I know could probably out drink a Wisconsinite.

Wisconsin's beer consumption per capita is almost double that of Britain's.

I've been to Britian many times, you folks get out drunk by the Germans a couple times a year and by the American Midwest consistently

The UK isn't even in the top 15 European countries based on liters consumed per capita. You are higher when it comes to alcoholism per capita, but still not in the top ten.

Pretty sure Australia and Poland are up there too based on my experiences.

You have a long history of drinking beer because the water wasn't potable for much of your history. The rest of the world drinks actual spirits because we like getting drunk.

You would handle a night of drinking with Americans as well as you handle an inch of snow on the roads.

They'll never know the joy and sorrow of spending 16 hours in a Wetherspoons and not being on shift.

Czechs do pretty well too and they do it on beer. None of the cheating on vodka.

I'm Canadian.

We'd mop the floor with you. The UK would be just as successful. As long as you consider 6% beer "strong beer"....

Sure

No one got cancer from sobriety.

That's not even close to how that math works.

It's not how much they drink, it's how they drink. It's all binge drinking.

I don't think so, but above 6,000 feet oxygen deprivation shows effects. It won't effect alcohol metabolism. The high plateau folks are just stroking themselves off, they can't outdrink anyone because of their altitude.

Yup, Santa Fe is at 7000ft. At those altitudes, a single drink is worth about 2, and you sober up slower. 4 beers is considered a long night of drinking, and must be done with water breaks and food.

That's gotta be a regional thing, I have never heard the term "strong beer" said stateside and my life is probably more than half over.

Domestic beers are standardized at 4.5-5%, which at 12 oz is the equivalent to one standard unit of alcohol in American Medicine.

Pretty much anything that's popular right now is an IPA and those typically start around 6% and go all the way up to 8% before people decide to start renaming them doubles or barley wines.

Besides when comparing beer drinking of Europeans to Americans in the context of alcohol your comparing apples and oranges. Americans drink less beer and like 50% more hard liquor then y'all do.

Is probably my favorite beer company, I generally prefer the pils unless it cold then I prefer the Dunkel.

IPAs are my least favorite they go from too much hops to an unbelievably too much hops.
