Hell I don’t need a calculator to tell me about my relative drinking habits. I’m of Irish descent.

You drink like you’re from India, which is the joint 60th lightest-drinking country in the world.

Oh what fun, but you probably wouldn’t think I’m any fun at all, since I drink like a Jordanian, the 11th lightest drinking country in the world.

A Jordanian? They told me that I must be living in Kuwait:

Nearly all of Kuwait's inhabitants also abstain - selling or drinking alcohol is illegal in the country. Kuwait is the lightest-drinking country in the world.

Maybe not a Utahan, but exactly like a Bhutan native, exactly the same percentile as Jordan. But in Bhutan, I drink like the worst party girl on the block:

"You are on course to drink about 0.5 litres of pure alcohol over the year, which is 57% less than the average for men in Bhutan, and 420% more than the average for women."
