Yesterday and last night I was discussing the level of alcohol consumption in Hungary. I have become more and more intrigued by these patterns since it appears as though that is all my friends do here. The thing is, they never actually get drunk...

So I did a little research. This is from a website.

• "The countries leading in total alcohol consumption per drinking-age person in 2003 were Luxembourg, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Ireland, and Germany. There were significant disparities in the level of consumption across countries among different types of alcoholic beverages. For example, although most of the leading consumers of alcoholic beverages drank significant quantities of wine, many drank relatively low quantities of distilled spirits. The leading beer-drinking countries were the Czech Republic, Ireland, Germany, Austria, and Luxembourg. Russia, Latvia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, and Japan were among the leading consumers of distilled spirits. Ireland and Russia had the highest rates of heavy alcohol consumption among women, while Russia, Hungary, and Austria had very high rates among men. Portugal and Spain had high rates of per capita consumption, but, since they also had high rates of abstinence, the per capita number of very heavy drinkers was higher than it was for countries such as France with few abstainers."

Interesting huh? I didn't actually think Hungary was up there. Other research showed that Hungary was overall in the top 3, 4, or 5 drinking countries depending on the year studied. Am I proud of this? Not really. I saw this Kings of Convenience video yesterday. I like it a lot. You can view it here.

Now I must pack and blah. :( I'd rather dance than talk with you.
