South Koreans Are Pro Ragers
2011-02-17 09:29 pmThe Economist has released a color-coded map charting the findings of a new report (based on data collected from 2003-2005) issued this week by the World Health Organization, which compares the relative alcohol consumption of people over the age of 15 across the globe. The biggest boozers (averaging more than 12.5 liters of pure alcohol, per person, during the study period) are denoted in red. (Click here to see the complete profile of each country):

As you can see, Europeans really take the rum cake. According to this booze map, those Euros are literally BLEEDING ALCOHOL. Australia and Argentina kinda look like awfully great places to have some good ol’ drunk sex. North Americans make a fairly decent showing with just a blush of pink drink. And the Middle East is, unsurprisingly, clean as a whistle. Then there’s Asia…

Hey, wait a minute, what’s that little bright-red blemish on the edge of Asia?
Why, it’s THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA!

Date: 2011-02-18 02:54 am (UTC)I was fairly surprised when I first got into kpop and k-drama due to the amount of alcohol mentions. It seemed to me that alcohol is a part of its culture. The way they made fun of people who couldn't drink and questioned those who don't drink in disbelief made me roll my eyes.
My dear country is so clean from alcohol but not cigarettes. XD

Date: 2011-02-18 03:13 am (UTC)i don't see how this report is legit since not even one drop of alcohol should be sold to teens under 18 here (the report for germany cites beer and wine for 16yr olds...it's true kids drink alcohol, but legally they are not allowed to buy it). and how are 15+yr olds considered adults ?_?

Date: 2011-02-18 03:23 am (UTC)but people do anyway. i wonder how they keep record of it if it's illegal lol.
