>>16226937
Belgian here, our country is based on beer and getting drunk but you have to go to work tomorrow, hangover is not an excuse here.

I was wondering what the single white county in Wisconsin was. Apparently it's a lake.

>>16226983
you WILL drink the beer chaser

>>16226998
they don't count the bodies of drunks that have fallen in

I'm in the white county just north of Washington DC on that map, drinking here is generally frowned upon if done to excess in public.

That being said, we do have a dogfish head alehouse not far away with a fair selection, as well as plenty of hipster-tier sports bars and similar with beer flights and a large on-tap selection.

>>16226937
Lithuania here, just got drunk off one non alcoholic beer

>>16227002
Thought that was a sidecar? Either way, Miller's having a can shortage right now. Just bought the last 15 cases of Miller 64 at WalMart last week. I figure if I can't stop, I can at least mitigate some of the damage by going as low abv as possible. Still, 20+ extra light beers a day is equal to a fifth of spirits.

>>16227063
no they serve a beer chaser with bloody marys in wisconsin

Pretty based high school years in Denmark.

>>16227068
I know, I live in Richfield. I just don't really do the bar scene.

>>16227075

Fair play to the Danes

>>16227075
this is why young Americans in Europe generally look like lightweights, they're nowhere near as used to drinking.

>>16227110
Plus the hilariously ridiculous fact they can't buy alcohol until 21 years of age

>>16227099
I've been to a bar a total of twice since living here and I know about this oddity
what is wrong with you dude

>>16227075
WHAT A LIFE

>>16227110
I remember drinking 6L of beer in munich once and at breakfast the next day I overheard another american dude saying he got SO DRUNK LAST NIGHT from 3L to much (figurative) applause

But at the same time I have heard from a few eastern euros (poland, latvia, ukraine) that they really enjoy american college parties and drinking games. we learn to drink in college

French here. We are notorious alcoholics and it's a justified reputation. We served alcohol to our kids in primary school every lunch period until the 60s. Personnally started drinking at 13 (actual drinking I mean, before that I'd get a glass of wine with dinner usually but no more), haven't stopped since. It's pretty normal for most people to drink during the week, even at work lunches and get wasted during the weekend. Most work cafeteria serve wine and beer as a menu choice

>>16227149
As an american that drinks maybe 6-10 times per year with meals, this just seems weird to me.

Different lifestyle I guess.

>>16227149
>French here. We are notorious alcoholics
Nah you're really not, not sure where you've heard this
Most would associate Ireland, UK and Eastern Europe with being heavy drinkers, France not so much

>>16227159
I mean, most foreign people I've met have told me they are surprised how much we drink and they saw us as wine swilling drunkards. Just my experience though

>>16227163
>they are surprised how much we drink
exactly, French aren't known for being drinkers so they are surprised - so not 'notorious alcoholics'

>>16227149
wine should only count for half credit, it's like the lifeblood of society

>>16226937
Based utah

>>16227163
French are known as drinkers but not binge drinkers like brits and east euros

>>16226937
I live in Wisconsin lmao. It's literally as bad as you'd think. I saw an article a while back asking if the community should stop a lady from being a bus driver as she had already had three duis.

>>16227163
I'm an amerilard and I've always pictured the stereotypical french guy as drinking wine with lunch and dinner and chain smoking.

>>16227182
sounds pretty cosy, is Wisconsin more of an white anglo-enclave than other states?

>>16227172
def thought it would have looked more like this

>>16227182
people rack up double digit DUIs here, especially as you get more rural

>>16227182
I met a guy with 8 DUIs who still had a license
Thanks Tavern Lobby

>>16227191
That's what I figured as well.

>>16227190
It's very white outside of Madison and Milwaukee, and most of those people are German/Scandi

>>16227188
>>16227179
It is absolutely true. We smoke a lot and drink all the time. We're less about binge drinking and more constant drinking

>>16227191
It probably is, there's no way UK consumes more wine than beer.
Also why are the Scottish highlands still drinking wine in your pic - just didn't bother recolouring them all?

>>16227202
>and most of those people are German/Scandi
oh not so based then, still sounds like the state I'd most want to live in as a Brit

>>16227202
I'm on the stateline and there's plenty of blacks and mexicans here, way more than ten years ago.

>>16226937
Who wins in a war between Wisconsin and Utah?

>>16227204

But the birds I talk to sometimes on interpals say they like wine more so it may be that wine is now dominant

>>16227214
I'm in madison and same. There's a mass exodus from Chicago underway
Fuck Beloit btw :^)

>>16227224
idk I just can't see it unless the country is way more middle class than I realised. No one is ordering wine at the pub, maybe it's all the homeless and teens buying cheap lambrini driving the wine count up

>>16227222

I didn't realise a rich and arguably pretentious celebrity chef was an accurate representation of the British populace

>>16227255
the thing is, you're underestimating the amount of influence British celebrity chefs have had on the populace, Oliver probably moreso than Gordo. They push the wine

>>16227207
Utah is the most English, but it sucks for multiple reasons. southern Maine might be up your alley

>>16227275
So apparently 35% of the booze we consume is beer and 35.7% is wine, which is a lot closer than the other wine countries on that graph, and I think it's probably cos cider is so popular here compared to other countries that people are drinking more of that rather than there just being a lot of wine drinkers

>>16227285
I'd prob just choose Canada anyway, US sucks

>>16227295
Yeah I'm sure an Englishman would love living side by side with a bunch of fucking frogs putting their dirty onion stink language on all products

>>16227075
Whats going on here? I dont think anyone thinks danes are the heaviest drinkers in europe

Do they just give their kids beer?

>>16227338
Yeah I'm sure they want to blow a bunch of people's heads off instead of get a planet for themselves during the end of times

I saw a 6 or 7 year old drinking once saying its good for him and makes him strong. I was also young and the adults didnt stop him.

>>16227195

>>16226937
'Straya here
Everyone's expected to drink at least a little daily.
If not then you're some straight-edge poofter.
Tradies usually drink the most, at 2pm on a friday it's the "young fella's" (ie: youngest bloke on the work site) job to go to the drive-thru and pick up 2-3 cases of beer to bring back to the work site. Then everyone spends the last 3-4 hours of the work week drinking the lot.

People fukken love calling in sick on Fridays here too, to the point a lot of bosses will even force you to take random fridays off. In such a case, you'll usually sneak out early like 2pm on the Thursday, pack up your ute and go drive up the beach to camp (ie: drink) for the weekend.

Here, the first building of a new village or town is always a pub. A town is born when a pub is built on a desert highway, usually at crossroads where 2 tracks intersect.
There are hundreds of outback "villages" that are literally population: 5, 1 pub and 2 houses, nothing else around for 500km+ but guarantee that pub will be full almost every night.

Everyone starts drinking underage. I did from about 15. When my brother turned 16 my parents just started buying him a sixpack every weekend to enjoy after his part time job on the weekends.

People here are generally un-trusting of non-drinkers (with the exception of people that might/could literally die from it due to health issues). Someone who doesnt drink is seen as having a secret agenda or something to hide that they dont want to let slip. Usually they'll be overlooked in life; uninvited to social events and never promoted in jobs because of this.


Our drinking culture was born from the colonial prison colony days. Currency had no worth back then and the guards were no better off than the prisoners they were guarding. Corruption was rife with rum being the de facto currency of the country for decades.

Everyone either drinks at a restaurant or at home with friends. Even the college apartments near me don't have massive parties. We all just get drunk on the couch

Loyal to you British heritage I see, good show sir

This Utah is pretty English. Especially up north. My family came from England and took advantage of the mormons to bring them over and set them up with their own sheep ranch. But then they also made moonshine.
But yeah Utah sucks. More and more than ever. Laws are starting to loosen up but half of fucking California moved here and everything is quickly becoming entirely unaffordable. Thankfully we are going into our worst recorded drought ever. It was 100 degrees today. The Mormons and Californians that recently moved here are all going to die soon

>>16227925
Goddamn I hate amerisharts

>>16227338
Okay so they aren't encouraged to stockpile weapons but tons of them do. I work as an exterminator in Utah and the Mormon vaults in their basements are so fucking weird. They'll have maybe a dozen bottles of jarred fruit, either 30 or 60 gallons of water, dozens of gallon cans of powdered milk, powdered eggs, and a 50lb bag of whole red wheat.
Every fucking time I've seen one of their end day supplies there is always a 50 lb bag of red wheat. It must be mandated or something.
I've yet to see a grinder or grain mill in a single house though.

>>16227898
I prefer this more as I get older. Cheaper, can hear my friends and actually talk to them.

>>16227881
>Someone who doesnt drink is seen as having a secret agenda or something to hide that they dont want to let slip. Usually they'll be overlooked in life; uninvited to social events and never promoted in jobs because of this.
Damn a whole nation and society held in the grip of the big corporations of one single commodity. You even speak of it like you're proud, incredible how insidious the booze propaganda is.

>>16227252
Dude that's only the brainwashed 18 year old missionaries. Mormons are some of the most violently petty people you could ever meet within the state itself. They are all hard line right wing conservatives. The majority of houses have guns and the church makes the women exercise and diet because God hates fat chicks and doesn't want to get stuck fucking fatties in heaven

WI here too, around the st Croix river valley, I'm only on my first DUI but I'm god damn proud

>>16227977

Got drunk the first time when I was 13. By 14/15 I could go into any bar/club in the city and not be carded. People drink a lot here I feel like but I don't know how they do it in the rest of Europe so I'm not sure if it's a lot relatively speaking. It's common to get shitfaced every weekend and to go to a bar after work a few times per week as well. There's also a large percentage of the population that continues heavy drinking on the weekends until they die essentially.

>>16226937
The phrase "drinking culture," oxymoronic as it is, can easily be summarized by another phrase: "misery loves company." Drinking: a pastime so vile that it can only be enjoyed or, more accurately, endured, in the company of other inebriated ne'er-do-wells. Only the ever-wretched drinker--his mind destroyed by years of decadence and vice--could envision a morbid menagerie of predatory peer pressure, mutual self-destruction, and general debauchery as some sort of ersatz "culture."

>>16227110

>>16228391
So like every country in the world then but with more restrictions, my point still stands - you cannot legally buy alcohol until you are 21. This is ridiculous

>>16227967
Can't meet anyone that way though. Eventually your friends will fade away due to work/marriage/children, and you'll be sitting on the couch solo.

Anyways, I live in Vegas, so of course the drinking culture here is nuts. Almost everyone is addicted to something, normally two things. Even my friend who considers himself "not a big drinker compared to most" is planning on getting blacked out tonight at the hockey game.

>>16228391
>>16228354
So in which of these scenarios you gave is someone allowed to buy alcohol under the age of 21, as this was the point I made that someone said

I was born in New Orleans, and I've lived my entire life in the Greater New Orleans Metropolitan area, except for a few months directly following Katrina.

If you're unaware, we have a world-famous street named after American corn mash whiskey - Bourbon Street.

I'm 1/4 French, 1/4 Irish and 1/4 Native American. So, I'm 3/4 of ethnicities famous for drinking.

A day without Bourbon is like a fish riding a bicycle. It makes absolutely no sense.

>>16228474
Yea they can drink more but they're not as obnoxious about it.
Aussies drink a lot but they can't actually handle it well and they just embarrass themselves by vomiting, pissing themselves and just being insufferable to be around in general.
What's the point in drinking a lot if you can't handle it

Imagine being 20 and being turned down from buying beer at the supermarket

>>16227182
Lol there are constantly articles of people having +12 DUIs in newspapers headlines in Wisconsin. I remember it's gotten so bad that county lawmakers tried positive reinforcement to get people to stop drinking and driving.
Also hmong people have taken in the drinking culture as well. They drink as often as their white counterparts, but they're smart enough to not get caught by the fuzz.

>>16228529
>I'm 1/4 French, 1/4 Irish and 1/4 Native American.
Oh wow so you have a 100% ethnic native American grandparent, a 100% ethnic Irish one, and a 100% ethnic French one? How did you even quantify that? Why did you leave the 4th grandparent out? Did the Irish and French one come to US together in the 50s or something then?

>>16228474

Great variety of booze. Beer if you're classic, Rum in the north Pisco in the central coast, anise liquor in the south, chicha in the highlands or if you want something more exotic, without considering the stuff you can find in the jungle.
Comparing to other cultures it's tradition to drink from one glass by turns, and sometimes pouring the rest in the ground (do not do it in a restaurant or a fancy bar). The goal is not to get drunk, it's to have a good time with friends talking about stuff.
That comparing with Vietnamese and maybe east Asian I worked with, which was more about getting drunk fast without tasting the booze. For us it's about enjoying the booze and the company, instead of getting drunk for drunkness sake

not quite, but Kiwis have one thing that Aussies dont: a national holiday called "crate day".

One day a year, everyone buys a 24pack (crate) of beer each and you're supposed to sit on it, not getting up or moving until you've finished the lot.
Also, unlike Australia, you can freely drink in public in New Zealand.
In Australia you generally can as well as long as you're not being a cunt about it, but legally you're only allowed to drink in public in Aus if there are 3 or more of you and a BBQ is lit.
That being said, once you get into the outback you'll outright have people drinking beer while driving and no-one gives a shit.

>One day a year, everyone buys a 24pack (crate) of beer each and you're supposed to sit on it, not getting up or moving until you've finished the lot

It's a swappa crate which is 12 x 745ml beers. So about 30 beers? As far as "standard drinks". You don't have to just sit on it, you play some backyard cricket or whatever, have a bbq, it's only really a thing because of a popular radio station which promotes it to celebrate the first day of summer.

>>16229098
>not getting up or moving until you've finished the lot

We do have games kind of like that though, like scrumpy hands, you tape a 750ml plastic bottle of 8% cider to each hand and you can't take them off until they are empty, good idea to finish one quickly so you have a free hand to take a piss with. Gets a party started pretty quick.

Tbh our binge drinking culture is kind of fucked, have seen brides take a knee and neck a bottle of wine in their wedding dress after the ceremony etc. Is what it is I guess. Other countries drink more but I suppose they spread it around

amerifag here, had some friends in college that used to be in a frat. they had a party where they taped 40 of malt liquor to their hands and dressed in blackface and had a 'bloods and crips' theme where they wore afro wigs and gang colors and got shitfaced.

that "antenna" is a rotating clothesline, an Australian invention called a Hill's Hoist. Iconic piece of backyard furniture almost everyone owns.
Normally used to hang your clothes on to dry.
People rarely have a Dryer in Aus because it's cheaper and quicker to just hang it outside.
Also helps that it literally never fucking rains in most of Aus (hasnt rained here at my place for 18 months now).

Uni students or patriotic drunks love to play a game called "Goon of Fortune", based on the Wheel of Fortune gameshow on TV.
You attach a bag of goon (wine), stand in a circle and spin the clothesline.
Whoever it lands on has to drink.
Simple as.

Billings, Montana.
Everyone is an alcoholic with multiple DUIs, almost all of them smoke meth as well. I moved here from Florida, which gets a bad rap, but these mountain folk drink all day long. After six years, I finally got with the program and became an alcoholic. Yesterday was the first day I woke up with the shakes. Just need to get a couple of DUIs and I'll finally be a real montanan.

>>16229494
This is true. Although the shot and a brew goes by different names depending on what part of the US you’re in. NE dives often call it Reagan’s Revenge cause minorities are the main consumers.

Caused by prohibition movements no less. Latching on to the idea of making the countries more efficient in wartime. Led to 50 years where it was completely normal to see shitfaced working men heading home at 6pm carrying some more beer, and general culture of drinking fast

Okay, first of all, what do you mean "a few miles west"? A few miles west lands you in a one horse town, where they drink like fish. Do you actually mean Butte? They're more drunk than Billings is. Bozeman? I'm not rich, and guess what? They're all fucking drinks, too, just rich drunks. Every fucking city west of Billings is full of alcoholics.

I’m from the Christian part of India (Kerala). I travel to non-Christian parts of the country. I can comprehensively confirm that Christians drink so much more alcohol than any other religious group here.
Hindus try to hide it. Hindus pretend like they don’t drink palm wine here but they do, they drink it super quickly and get way too drunk, because they are ashamed. With Muslims it’s even worse, they fucking gulp down the wine or even worse, the hard liquor over here so their batshit insane family doesn’t find out.
But here in Kerala, yeah. We drink. Indians drink. We love our palm wine. Just don’t be a secretive faggot about it like Hindus or Muslims.

>this is still ridiculous, especially considering in some states 14 years olds can buy guns without parental consent

No thats illegal. Under 18 year olds can not purchase firearms from any sources, its federal law, and some states like Florida increase the age limit to 21. However in most states children under 18 can be gifted firearms by their parents (however straw buying purposefully for someone else is illegal).

That said, I grew up in rural Texas and I bought my first gun at 13, and was illegally buying and selling handguns at gunshows starting at the age of 15. Nobody gave a fuck about the law lol. Its the same with drinking too, I was drinking at age 14 and so was everyone else at school and nobody cared about enforcing the drinking laws beyond cops looking for a quick bust.

>>16232591
Yellow is semi-dry counties (local laws restricting sale of alcohol on certain days/times), red is hard dry counties (prohibition never really ended).

And it also doesn't reflect counties that have basically the same thing, but not codified by law in any way.

For example, in my county in MD. All the liquor stores are county-run, and none of them are open on Sunday. Now there isn't any specific law that forbids the sale of liquor on Sundays, but since there are no stores that sell liquor open on Sundays in this county, the effect is the same.

I'm romanian and I'm convinced we are all alcoholics. Only protestants or ultraorthodox fags don't drink, and if you don't get drunk with people, they will feel uneasy, because you must be hiding something or plotting to abuse them when they get drunk. I met a guy like that, he recorded some drunken talks I had with friends, we made him delete that shit, the soy thought he was being funny.
Anyway, every year or two someone breaks the BAC level, now it's between 7 and 10 BAC. Hobos drink medicinal alcohol, ours is made with ethilic alcohol not the methilic one, so it's safe to drink.
I started drinking at 17 and have been getting drunk every weekend since and more often than that in the summers. Every villager produces his own wine or spirits, the high grade palinca is 70% alcohol by volume. They trade it for goods in the villages, between each other, and sell it to city-slickers like me. Beer is reportedly sold in massive quantities, because wine and liquor is sold untaxed, the police ignore them, because everyone does it.

I became a regular drinker at 16, so pretty lately for our standards. I really feel like after joining the EU we tuned alcoholism and being wasted down a fair amount. Beer is probably the most popular drink on the regular basis, vodka is drank during social gatherings and meetings. Cocktail culture is pretty much non-existent outside of several cities since they cost a bit compared to vodka or beer, sadly - I really like good mixed drinks. We don’t really go to pubs that much, most people drink in the parks, forests or at homes, streets are also usable - police generally doesn’t care but it’s illegal. A lot of tradies visit our version of 7/11 in the morning to buy a 90ml(used to be 100ml but tax evasion caused the capacity to shrink) bottle of vodka before work. People usually drink on friday or saturday, and they go pretty hard - not as hard as the brits fortunately. We are actually a bit more capable of handling the alcohol, not that many people black out. I attribute this to a pretty specific phase in high school when 18th birthdays come around about a year tops before prom so there is plenty of time for the kids to learn how to drink, prom drinking is widespread it you have a hip flask or teachers are liberal. I think that’s pretty much it

>>16229396
Huge swaths of the South were dry until the late 90s. Even today you'll still find a lot of semi- or fully dry areas. Also population density and geography comes into play, a lot of rural areas don't have enough people to keep bars open and drunk driving isn't particularly safe on curving roads with lots of animals.
