Slow news day in WI:
"Steven's Point man arrested for 16th DUI."
Not much of an exaggeration, sadly.
Is a Wisconsin Driver's license even valid without at least one DUI on your record?
Drink Wisconsinably.

Yeah America has some pockets that just... are not human when it comes to drink. Like i can safely say your avg brit, irsh or scott would, can and does drink 95% of America under the table. But of that last 5%... iv seen things... things even the czechs would claim is unhuman.
I lived in WI back in 03 when they lowered the bac from .1 to .08. people were pissed, but I don't recall them drinking any less, just getting arrested slightly more.
Scotland versus all 50 states: Wisconsin carries the team.
Scotland versus 49 states except Wisconsin: I'm not sure how this would turn out but I suspect Scotland would win.
Scotland plus Wisconsin versus the other 49 states: sort of like a professional sports team playing a high school sports team.

Send them to Wisconsin next. The standing BAC for elementary school kids is .12.
High school mentality.
American's call 6% beer "Strong beer". Get the fuck out.
That's gotta be a regional thing, I have never heard the term "strong beer" said stateside and my life is probably more than half over.
Domestic beers are standardized at 4.5-5%, which at 12 oz is the equivalent to one standard unit of alcohol in American Medicine.
Pretty much anything that's popular right now is an IPA and those typically start around 6% and go all the way up to 8% before people decide to start renaming them doubles or barley wines.
Besides when comparing beer drinking of Europeans to Americans in the context of alcohol your comparing apples and oranges. Americans drink less beer and like 50% more hard liquor then y'all do.
In Ireland I was a student.
In France I was considered an alcoholic.
I'm a university student in Finland, and probably drink an alocolic amount of alcohol some weeks

This would never happen in the Midwest.
They considered running out of beer, running out of everything but bud light and Coors. So yeah, I am sure it would.
After returning from a vacation to America, an English Youtuber was talking about the cultural differences, and said that what they call "going to a pub in the evening," Americans would call "a serious drinking problem."

We need a UK vs Turkey tea-drinking contest.
Vacation vs Work Week... I'd be curious how it would go vacation vs vacation
What is "vacation"?
When you drop everything to fly halfway around the world to warch grown men in shorts run around and chase a ball for 90 minutes, then drink all the beer in a given area.

As much as I hate the USA, this is the first time I'm ready to compete for my country. I'll have a double-shot and a Pilsner, please!

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.

To make this simulation a little easier to the compare the Western US is ~80M people and I think the UK takes em down comfortably.
The Great Lakes region would take down the UK, but in a much closer and drunker matchup.
The western US has the secret elevation advantage. If were battling at sea level, mountain homies will be 10 drinks deep before they even feel a thing
This whole thread feels like reading ShitAmericansSay, it's hilarious :,D
Based on my backpacking trips and edm days, id agree. UK goes hard AF
