The 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!

Dude. YES. We knew those mofos could party!!!!! Let us all raise a Hite to them!

Well we don't go out that much (max 2 or 3 times a week) but we do drink a lot of alcohol at home and for precisely every events (drank too much last night, just seeing a friend it ended lost in town to find a sushi restaurant). My parents drink every night, like smoking you know, to 'relax', but dude they drink each nearly a bottle of wine per night!

lol I read it as South Koreans Are Pro Rangers. WHUT?

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

I also noticed that from dramas. Although irl , half of the korean people I know don't drink while the other half get a soju party like every holiday/birthday.

i don't bleed alcohol, thank you and goodbye >.>/

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 ?_?

"legally"
