What's Your Drinking Nationality?

[grasscarp]

Just entered my weekly consumption of alcohol into this calculator
http://www.bbc.com/news/health-30500372
It said my drinking is not like that of any nationality, but the closest is Belarus who are the heaviest drinkers in the world.
Oh dear :o(
Try it and tell me what you get........

I'm afraid to grass ;o)

[grasscarp]

Oh dear Mazie. x

[mazie]

Oh Dear, I think we have a lot in common

When they say 'glass of wine' how many does that mean from a bottle?

[frugalfred]

Mon Dieu - je suis francais!

[Buenchico]

I tried that earlier on.

Greetings from here in Namibia.

6 glasses Sandy I think but of course depends on size of glass

[bookbinder]

That...that...silly calculator said that I drink like I'm from France! What an insult! I don't do anything like those French people do! I drink in a proper British manner!

[grasscarp]

Buenchico what are you doing in Namibia? I went there a couple of years back to do some teaching with Air Namibia.

Sandy:
That calculator seems to be based upon the very crude measurement of 1 unit = ½ pint beer = 1 single spirit = ONE SIXTH of a bottle of wine.

I am from Kuwait - not sure if that is a nice place to be or not.

[Buenchico]

I was only joking, GC, based upon where that calculator says I should be!

[sandyRoe]

If we'll accept 4 glasses from a bottle then I have an affinity with Belarus, too.

Fancy nipping out for a pint Buencho? I'm just round the corner from you apparently

[grasscarp]

sounds like you dont drink much wolf. Arent they a dry country? Mind you the only person I ever met from there drank very heavily.

[snags]

Kuwait.

Kuwait.

7 bottles a week(not unduly excessive, surely?) no matter what size of glass, still puts me in the company of those hard-drinking Eastern Europeans. ☺

Hi Captain.

I'm trying to be good today because I had 4 pints yesterday (which, when added to my 2 pints on Sunday, provided my weekly total). However I keep telling myself that 'it's nearly Christmas', so maybe I will join you for a drink or two ;-)
