      Most of the funerals I've been to over the last 10 years were for heavy drinkers. At least 3 (including my dad) alcohol was the direct cause of the death.

      This video about vodka in Russia is very eye opening. Keep the people drunk so they don't rise up, the father is drunk and violent, raise boys that are drunk and violent continuing the cycle of violent drunkenness.

        Oh god, that's a rabbit hole you might not want to go down. I'm in Canada and I know people who will have 1 or 2 beers a week but most are in the range 2-4 a day. I'm an electrician so things skew towards the 1500 bottles/yr end of the spectrum.

        Apparently the UK has some of the highest (maybe the highest) binge drinking rates in the world and highesr alcohol consumption per capita - kinda goes hand in hand. I wasn't surprised to read it, some of the lads and ladettes start drinking Friday after work and don't stop until Monday morning. Crazy stuff, like out literally all night, wake up still buzzed, get another few rounds in with your mates and just keep going.
