I was surprisingly not hungover this New Year like I expected, even after a couple of 12 oz cans of Modelo, a tall glass of homemade chelada, at least two shots of Crown Royal, and about three sips of cognac. Perhaps the pizza helped, I dunno

Honestly that sounds like pretty moderate drinking to me

lol I was thinking that but didn't want to say anything in case everyone thinks I'm an alcoholic

We live in alcoholic cultures

I thought he was being sarcastic

I haven't had any alcohol since the last decade

It's not wether you're an alcoholic or not, it's how you handle your alcoholism.

At least they don't put Datura into the beer anymore to make it stronger like back in the days. That's where all the devil sightings from medieval times derive from

It would make a thousand ManjuShris cry

I'm on the Old Fashioneds again

Apparently they love to drink in Uganda, according to the geo-alcoholism map.

Some have allegedly reported bear sightings as well under said influence

There's no way Russia's alcohol consumption is that low.  I've gotten drunk with Russians enough times to know that map is B.S.

Also, datura is seriously scary stuff.  It grows out of control in my hometown and let me tell you, that stuff smells absolutely sick when there's an entire acre dominated by it.  It looks and smells evil enough to give you bad vibes just from its presence.

Those were probably western Russians. We tend to forget the Central and East Asian Russians. I believe they drink a bit less

Yeah, I don't think I know any western or central Russians, mostly just Muscovites.

And Ukrainians

С Новым годом! За Ваше здоровье!

The only Russian I know is с праздником.

Interesting that the Middle East and North Africa appear to have the least alcohol consumption according to that map. Could have something to do with the dominant religion on those regions.

When I lived in Japan a fellow exchange student of Pakistani descent from east London swore not to touch alcohol or pork for the duration of his stay, but that pretty much went out the window about two or three months in.

I've been to the occupation museum in Riga with a Russian. When we looked at the Nazi-Soviet Pact he slowly and tenderly put his arm around me. It felt politically incorrect.

And that's what I love about Russians

When I lived in UAE, the Indian and Pakistani guys would load up shopping carts full of hard liquor at the store, stocking up.  They also couldn't handle their booze for shit, always found guys passed out in the hotel hallways, in elevators, etc.

Your own map shows that’s not the answer. There’s so few eastern Russians they don’t count for much in the statistics.

But what might in fact explain the low numbers is the fact that in Russia beer doesn’t count as alcohol.
