Just in general...if you travel to Sweden, Norway, or Finland....you tend to note that people drink more. It might be mostly beer....but they all drink more on average.

“According to the study, every second male drowning victim has alcohol in his body, rising to 65 percent among those in the 45-64 age group.”
Aren’t alcohol and fishing complimentary sports?

Somebody really... needed a study... for this?
*head explodes*
Sorry to bother you out in Oz with this, but jeez... have you thought about staying there? I’d suggest it and I’ve never been there. If you can handle the heat and don’t mind not carrying, stay, because we have too many stupid people.

Most people who are bitten by snakes have been drinking.
Most people who ________________ have been drinking.
Drinking makes people stupid.... that’s all you really need to know.

"a guess is that men are more inclined to take risks"
That is the most likely conclusion. Women who take the same risks as men are generally called crazy. I suppose about the same percentage of crazy women take the same risks as crazy men. Unless they're drunk, that is. But even considering that, I'll bet drunk crazy women don't act nearly as bad as drunk crazy men. It's just the nature of the species.

The study considered 4,000 cases of drowning between 1997 and 2011 and, excluding confirmed cases of suicide, men account for 80 percent of fatalities. Same as in the United States.
From 1999 through 2010, 24,254 accidental adult males drownings in the US, compared to 5,708 accidental adult female drownings.
That's 81% men.

Here is another piece of earth shattering news, drunk men are more likely to find homely women attractive. And conversely sober women are more likely find drunk men are asses.

The thing this doesn't tell us, though, is how much more likely men are to be out on the water than women.
I have a gut feeling that at any given time, there are a LOT more men out on or in the water than there are women.
To: nickcarraway
Can I get a grant for a follow-up study to prove that drunk men bump their heads more often? I’ll even volunteer as a test subject, for the sake of science.

A significant number of small craft drowning victims were taking a leak over the side and fell in, by all appearances....
Drinking makes that situation more likely to occur. (You rent beer, you don't buy it.)

Women are more buoyant than men. Greater percentage of body fat (which floats), lower percentage of muscle and bone (which sink).

In my old hometown of La Crosse, Wisc. several years ago there was a rash of drownings of young, male, college students most of whom late at night or early morning walked out of one of the many downtown bars situated a few blocks from the Mississippi River, staggered down to the river, fell into the river, and drowned. Finally some concerned citizens started posting unofficial patrols close to the river and the cops started taking more notice as well. So many drowned, many people thought there was a serial killer pushing the students into the water.
The police managed to stop a few students heading for the river and attempted to turn them around and make them walk back to their college dorms in the other direction. A number of these students swore they were headed towards their dorms despite being only yards from the edge of the river. One young male was pulled out of the river by some passersby after stumbling into the water accidentally. He was one of the few who managed to fall in and survive only because there were people around. He was so drunk, he did not remember falling into the water. Once in the water, the river is very swift and very cold (except for a few summer months for the latter.) It would take a very strong (and sober) swimmer to be able to survive falling in during the cold weather months.
