55% of Romanian men reported binge drinking in the past month vs. 3% in Turkey

Britain beat out most countries to rank high on a list of the biggest binge drinkers in the world, sitting behind only Romania and surprise No. 1 Denmark.

"Nearly one in five adults (19%) reported heavy episodic drinking at least once a month, on average across 29 countries in 2019," the study from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) found.

"This proportion varies 10-fold, from less than 3% in Turkey and Italy to more than 30% in Germany, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom and Denmark, as well as Romania," the researchers concluded.

Researchers defined "binge drinking" as having at least six drinks in a single session and found that drinking had dropped in 23 countries between 2011 and 2021, with the largest reductions occurring in Lithuania and Ireland. Latvia, Mexico and Norway experienced the largest increases in the same category.








Ireland lost it's place at #1 as they were too drunk to respond to the survey.

Dang. My contribution to the "We're #1!!" efforts seems to have been inadequate to date. I'll try harder.
