I was curious. The UK drank 12% more per capita than the US in 2022. 10.8 L/person year for the UK and 9.8 L/person year for the US.

10.8L is roughly 3gal which roughly 33 12oz bottles

Thats like 1.25 cases of beer, either I'm drinking a lot more than the average person or these stats arent correct

Alcohol statistics are usually talking about pure alcohol. 10.8l of pure alcohol per capita per year are about one 0.5l bottle of beer per capita per day.

This makes so much more sense, thank you for giving more context

It's not how much they drink, it's how they drink. It's all binge drinking.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

An extra 1.25 cases of beer over the course of a year is binge drinking?

Do you even know what binge drinking is?
