Booze calculator: What's your drinking nationality?

osarusan

This is something from the BBC.

You fill in how much beer, wine, or spirits you've consumed in the past week, and from that they (unscientifically) extrapolate how much that means per year, and which country your drinking pattern most closely resembles.

Booze calculator: What's your drinking nationality?


in my case (low in beer, higher in spirits):

You drink most like you're from Suriname

and quite unlike people from your home country

Seychelles - do I get a free trip?????

whoopsadoodles

Can I wait until tomorrow to do it?

I'll be from Saudi by then.

Ugandan

Shenshen

Kiribati.

I'm suspecting the real aim of this is to teach people geography.

Kuwait because apparently most people in Kuwait abstain from alcohol. I don't abstain, I just haven't bought any drink in the last week and would normally only drink 2 or 3 times a year and suffer a 2 day hangover afterwards and so not touch another drop for about 3 months.

The flying mouse

me of to Kuwait :-)

heard kuwait is nice this time of year! meh its been an uneventful week

RobertKK

Vietnam but on Friday it will be most likely Kuwait.

rainbow kirby

Timor-Leste, not very Irish in my drinking habits at all!

Quite a few of us off to Kuwait it seems. Should we put together a group travel deal and go for a holiday people?

Bit of a crap calculator though only basing things on a single week. Since I only drink - very little - once a month the results of my "calculator" will entirely depend on which week I use it in.

You drink most like you're from Guinea-Bissau.

You drink more than the average for your home country


You drink more heavily than people from Belarus, the heaviest-drinking country in the world

It was a heavier than normal week in fairness:eek:

Edit - just put in a more normal weeks consumption and got the same result!

I always knew there was some Namibian blood in me.

It feels like a win, yet also a very big loss.

5 pints of beer on Friday night and a few glasses of wine on Saturday and Sunday. Sounds fairly light to me but apparently I drink like a Ukrainian. Me hole.

Badly Drunk Boy

You drink most like you're from Moldova

(but this is not a very good match)

and not at all like people from your home country

I'm not a good match for anywhere...

Hmm, really makes you think.

"You, personally, drink more than the entire 9.4 million-strong population of a large former Soviet-bloc country".

That would indeed be impressive. They are of course referring to the average per-capita alcohol consumption of these various countries, and I can assure you that there are plenty of people in Belarus that make us look like Fr. Matthew. :pac:
