Your country not listed? What is the traditional drink and hangover cure?

Hmm USA not on the list. Interesting. I like to drink everything from beer to wine and everything in between. Hangover Cure: none

Dammit, not in the top 10!!! Another beer please..............

Lol, no USA? My drink of choice is ketel one and water or a nice glass of red. Hangover cure two Tylenol before I hit nite nite land!

Hm, I always thought the Russians were the most competitive drinkers

I also thought that Germans and Russians (along with the Brits and the Dutch) would top the chart, lol! Uganda was nowhere in my sight.

Yes, I thought that UK and Russia would on top though I don't know much about drinking habits In China or Uganda.

        Whaaat?   the US ain't even listed on there (much less the Southern US)  you 'gotta be freakin' kiddin' me.    Shiiiiit    you guys should see what a tailgating party looks like during football season (real football,  no offense to my European friends) .  Spring Break,  our universities on the weekends, (or any given night for that matter), uh holidays in general LMAO.  we've got plenty of nightlife here in the USA !  I can't believe this survey,  we Americans are a thirsty lot if ever there was one,  Ahhhhh  don't get me started !!

Bongo you took the ever loving words out of my mouth! The US is always notorious for everything and was might surprised we were not considered the biggest lushes..........lmao!

            It's funny Lips, I think a lot of our international friends were rather surprised as well

I tried that Soju drink when I visited South Korea a few years ago and it's terrible, I don't know how they can drink that to be honest.

By the way, sometimes the Russians try beer as the hangover cure. So you get drunk with vodka and have a couple of beers the morning after, the hangover is gone and you're as drunk as you were the night before

Usa hmmmmm agreed we should have had honorable mention lol

Hmmm ... i have to say this is quite an odd statistic. If you've asked me, my money would have definitely been on Russia. The next ones in line would have to be the Brits and Germans. The rest of'em are small time compared to these three, as far as I'm concerned.
